In this Jim Dine interview, the artist discusses the Essential Jim Dine exhibition now on virtual tour at the Jonathan Novak Contemporary Art gallery. Jim Dine discusses his work in this solo exhibition, shot from Dine’s studio in Paris. The artist shares insights from his life, his work, his process, and artistic journey.

American artist Jim Dine (b. 1935, Cincinnati, OH) is recognized as a major figure in American art. Dine studied at the University of Cincinnati during his senior year of high school, later earning his BFA at Ohio University in 1957. He moved to New York in 1959 where he became a key figure in the Happenings movement. His talent was quickly recognized, leading to his first solo exhibition at the Reuben Gallery in 1960. Although Dine’s prominence in the New York art scene led him to befriend Pop Art figures including Claes Oldenburg and Roy Lichtenstein, his works strayed from the traditional subjects typically associated with that movement. Instead, the everyday objects Dine incorporates into his art are often personal possessions, lending a powerful sense of autobiography to his work.
