The Heart of BAM
A bold and expressive large-scale woodcut, *The Heart of BAM* showcases Jim Dine's iconic heart motif rendered with raw, gestural energy through the distinctive grain and texture of the woodcut medium, enhanced by the rich tonal depth of collotype printing. The layered colours bleed and intertwine across the heavy Rives paper, reflecting Dine's deeply personal approach to printmaking, where the heart serves as both autobiographical symbol and universal emblem of emotion. The full margins frame the composition with a sense of presence and permanence, elevating this work as a striking example of Dine's mastery of combining traditional printmaking techniques.
