If you have never heard of Jim Dine I'm certain you are familiar with some of his most more famous prints. I contend that his drawings are some of the best in the world. He is a living legend in art. Take time and research his work and life. You won't be disappointed you did.

Artwork page for ‘[no title]’, Jim Dine, 1973 Dine believes that tools provide a 'link with our past, the human past, the hand'. They feature in many of his works, and can be seen as a symbol of artistic creation. There is also an autobiographical resonance, as Dine's family owned a hardware store in Cincinnati. In these prints, the tools are presented as a series of discrete items, as if laid out for analysis and classification.

Drawing is the basis of almost every creative and productive endeavor. It is the great clarifier and instructor. It can be elegant; simple, complex, humorous, poignant, mechanical…and even scary. It encompasses every aspect of life; every art form and every science. Without it our world would be so much less interesting; an extremely dull place. It is something that almost every human being has done or does now at least some of the time. I have never known a child that didn’t love to draw…
