Jim Dine - I Never Look Away: Self-Portraits - Hardcover

by Antonia Hoerschelmann (Editor), Klaus Albrecht Schröder (Editor), Jim Dine (Author)

Jim Dine ranks alongside figures such as Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, and Wayne Thibaud as one of the celebrated stars of American Pop Art. The self-portraits, which Dine began painting in the 1950s, serve to catalyze an independent, intense, and surprising dialog with the artist and his output. And Dine's diverse experiments with a wide range of techniques and materials address themes including youth and old age, intimacy and extroversion, and seriality and creativity on paper--enabling these self-portraits to open up new insights into a supposedly familiar oeuvre. The book presents a selection of almost one hundred fascinating self-portraits.
