THE SECRET DRAWINGS - JIM DINE GEBUNDEN

This book presents for the first time Jim Dine's Secret Drawings  a series of 45 majestic 
dynamic and dense drawings made between 2012 and 2018 in his studios in Walla Walla  Washington
and Paris. Ranging in size from 50 x 70 to 104 x 152 cm  these works are the product of Dine's
intense  restless processes of application  erasure and most importantly re-working  using
materials as diverse as charcoal  China ink  pastel  fixative  oil enamel and acrylic paints 
as well as collage. The textures of the papers-what I had on the floor and lying around-vary
greatly  as do Dine's tools  from sticks  brushes  knives  rotary grinders and the artists'
bare hands. The resulting drawings are raw  explosive  caught in the process of becoming 
abstract yet with hints of familiar forms  perhaps a rectangle  oval  a slice or an aperture.
For Dine himself  these drawings ultimately hold a deeper  more personal  secrecy: 84 years ago
(I am 84 years old ) I emerged from a dark place. Then  itwas thought of as a very secret place
(I mean in the world). I have been depicting this landscape ever since. Hinting at it and
confronting the subject matter directly. The thicket of marks and the anatomical reference is
all here on the paper.Co-published with Rosenwald-Wolf Gallery  University of the Arts
