'''Jim Dine''' (born June 16, 1935) is an American artist. Dine's work includes painting, drawing, printmaking (in many forms including lithographs, etchings, [[gravure]], [[Intaglio (printmaking)|intaglio]], woodcuts, letterpress, and linocuts), sculpture, and photography.

==Education==
Dine's first formal training took the form of night courses at the [[Art Academy of Cincinnati]], in which he enrolled in 1952 at the age of 16,<ref name="auto6">Dine, ''Paris Reconnaissance'', p.158</ref> while attending Walnut Hills High School.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.grahamhuntergallery.co.uk/jim-dine|title = Graham Hunter Gallery - Jim Dine}}</ref> In 1954, while still attending evening courses, Dine was inspired by a copy of [[Paul J. Sachs]]' ''Modern Prints and Drawings'' (1954), particularly by the [[German Expressionist]] woodcuts it reproduced, including work by [[Ernst Ludwig Kirchner]] (1880–1938), [[Emil Nolde]] (1867–1956) and [[Max Beckmann]] (1884–1950)—"I was shocked by them" — and began creating woodcuts in the basement of his maternal grandparents, with whom he was then living.<ref>Ibid. p. 7</ref>

After high school, Dine enrolled at the [[University of Cincinnati]]. Under printmaking teacher Donald Roberts (1923–2015) Dine experimented in lithography, etching, intaglio, dry paint and woodcuts. At Roberts' suggestion, Dine subsequently studied for six months with [[Ture Bengtz]] (1907–1973) at the [[School of Fine Arts]] at the [[Museum of Fine Arts, Boston|Museum of Fine Arts]] in Boston, before returning to Ohio University where he graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in 1957 (remaining for an additional year to make paintings and prints, with the permission of the faculty).<ref name="auto6"/>

In 1958 Dine moved to New York, where he taught at the Rhodes School.<ref>Jim Dine, ''About the Love of Printing'', Edition Folkwang / Steidl, Göttingen, 2015. p. 210</ref> In the same year he founded the Judson Gallery at the Judson Church in Greenwich Village with [[Claes Oldenburg]] and Marcus Ratliff, eventually meeting [[Allan Kaprow]] and Bob Whitman: together they became pioneers of happenings and performances, including Dine's ''The Smiling Workman'' of 1959.<ref name="auto7">{{Cite web |title=Jim Dine Art, Bio, Ideas |url=https://www.theartstory.org/artist/dine-jim/ |access-date=2022-11-30 |website=The Art Story}}</ref> Dine's first exhibition was at the Reuben Gallery, where he also staged the elaborate performance ''Car Crash'' (1960),<ref name="auto7"/> which he describes as "a cacophony of sounds and words spoken by a great white Venus with animal grunts and howls by me."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://cuneiformpress.com/?product=jim-dine-poems-to-work-on|title = Cuneiform Press}}</ref> Another important early work was ''The House'' (1960), an environment incorporating found objects and street debris, installed at the Judson Gallery.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.npg.org.uk/whatson/display/2007/jim-dine-the-artists-face.php|title = Jim Dine - the Artist's face - National Portrait Gallery}}</ref>

Dine continued to include everyday items (including personal possessions) in his work,<ref name="auto2">{{Cite web|url=https://www.taglialatellagalleries.com/artists/jim-dine/biography|title = Jim Dine - Artists - Taglialatella Galleries}}</ref> which linked him to Pop Art—an affinity strengthened by his inclusion in the influential 1962 exhibition "New Painting of Common Objects" at the Pasadena Art Museum, curated by [[Walter Hopps]] and later cited as the first institutional survey of American Pop Art, including works by [[Robert Dowd (artist)|Robert Dowd]], [[Joe Goode]], [[Phillip Hefferton]], [[Roy Lichtenstein]], [[Edward Ruscha]], [[Wayne Thiebaud]] and [[Andy Warhol]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Jim Dine |url=https://www.sothebys.com/en/artists/jim-dine |access-date=18 Jun 2023 |website=Sotheby's}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Graham Hunter Gallery - Jim Dine |url=https://www.grahamhuntergallery.co.uk/jim-dine |access-date=2023-06-20 |website=www.grahamhuntergallery.co.uk}}</ref>
