Title

Staatliche Kunsthalle Baden-Baden (Red Bandana)

Description

Original poster produced on the occasion of Jim Dine's 1971 exhibition at the Staatliche Kunsthalle Baden-Baden. This vintage poster reproduces the artist’s lithograph The Red Bandana: a classic bandana sketched in black with a beautifully reticulated wash of red, accompanied by lively sprays of ink. The rounded typeface is pure retro delight.

Jim Dine’s careful depiction of everyday objects imbues them with life: tools, hearts, robes, and hearts serve as frameworks for formal experimentation and as vessels for meaning. Here, the artist delights in minimalism: a scarf as Color Field painting, Rothko’s Americana. Below the sketch, Dine’s breezy cursive reads “the red bandana”.

Jim Dine: Printmaker, Painter and Poet of the Everyday Object

Jim Dine (born 1935, Cincinnati, Ohio) is one of the most prolific and technically adventurous printmakers of the past sixty years. He first emerged in New York’s late-1950s art scene alongside the Happenings and Pop art movements, but he has always resisted the Pop label. His work is intensely personal, autobiographical and hand-made. Jim Dine prints put that sensibility on paper: expressive, gestural and rooted in the physical act of drawing and cutting.
