The Robe Goes to Town
"The Robe Goes to Town" by Jim Dine is a richly layered work combining aquatint and screenprint in colors, printed on Arches Cover black over screenprinted Arches Cover buff paper. The piece exemplifies Dine's signature use of the robe as a symbolic self-portrait, a recurring motif throughout his career that serves as a stand-in for the human presence. The interplay of printmaking techniques and the warm tonal contrast of the two paper surfaces create a visually complex and textured composition.
