A Beautiful Heart
1996
Jim Dine's A Beautiful Heart is an etching and aquatint with power-tool drypoint in colors created in 1996. The work combines traditional intaglio techniques with contemporary power-tool drypoint methods on Hahnemühle paper. Dine's heart imagery has become a signature motif throughout his artistic practice. The multiple printing techniques create rich textures and vibrant color interactions on the surface. This piece demonstrates the artist's continued innovation with printmaking processes in the late twentieth century.
