A Little Girl (from the Eight Sheets from an Undefined Novel, State II portfolio)

1979

A Little Girl is an etching and aquatint with hand-coloring from Jim Dine's Eight Sheets from an Undefined Novel portfolio series, State II version created in 1979. The work was executed on BFK Rives paper and combines intaglio techniques with hand-applied color. The narrative suggestion of the title contrasts with the abstract or expressionistic visual treatment. Hand-coloring adds individual variation to each print in the series. This portfolio demonstrates Dine's interest in combining narrative elements with experimental printmaking methods.
