This video provides a concise art history lesson on contemporary artist Jim Dine. Jim Dine has had a career that has spanned over several decades. He has worked in many mediums including painting, printmaking, sculpture and poetry. Among his most famous works of art are his hearts and his drawings of common tools.  Born in Ohio, Jim Dine's mother passed away when he was twelve. He subsequently went to live with one of his grandfathers who owned a hardware store. Dine has credited working daily in the hardware store as having a large influence on his artistic career. He learned to see tools as a means of creation.

As the Pop Art movement grew in the U.S., artists like Andy Warhol made using mass-produced consumer products in art commonplace.
While most people label Jim Dine's work as pop art, many who have taken a closer look at his work would disagree. Instead, his art is seen by some as having strong ties to the Neo-Dada or Abstract Expressionist movements. In an ArtStory article (https://www.theartstory.org/artist/di..., Dine is credited with saying "I would have been quite pleased to have been a pop artist; I was very involved with pop art and those guys. But let's face it, I wasn't one. I used popular imagery, objects more than anything else. But I wasn't glorifying consumerism, nothing like that".

Dine goes on to argue his case by saying "Pop is concerned with exteriors. I'm concerned with interiors when I use objects, I see them as a vocabulary of feelings. I can spend a lot of time with objects, and they leave me as satisfied as a good meal. I don't think Pop artists feel that way" (https://americanart.si.edu/artist/jim....

Despite the controversy about his art style, Dine has made a great impact on the Neo-Pop artists that followed him. The use of everyday objects can be seen in the work of artists like Jeff Koons. Jim Dine hearts and Jim Dine tools remain as some of his most popular works of art.
