Jim Dine (July 16, 1935) is a Cincinnati-born artist and poet best known for his contributions to pop art and performance art as well as his colorful paintings with familiar motifs. Dine’s paintings, though most often incorrectly associated with the Pop Art movement, draw upon Abstract Expressionism and Neo-Dada assemblage and collage. Beginning at age sixteen, Dine attended several art programs, graduating from Ohio University in 1957. He then moved to New York, pioneering performance art events known as happenings with Allan Kaprow and Claes Oldenburg. He has received commendations including the British Museum Medal (2015). Dine’s work is held in collections such as the Art Institute of Chicago; the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; and the Centre Pompidou, Paris.
