LAST YEARS FORGOTTEN HARVEST - JIM DINE GEBUNDEN

Renowned for his depictions of self  which early in his career were often purely symbolic-most
famously in the form of a bathrobe or a set of tools-Jim Dine reveals in Last Year's Forgotten
Harvest another portrait of sorts  providing the viewer both with insight into his deep
commitment to drawing and to the individuals in his orbit who have helped shape him. Presenting
nearly seven decades of drawing  from 1957 to the present  Last Year's Forgotten Harvest
demonstrates the deep fusion between Dine's practice and those who have long been part of his
world. In the artist's words: "Besides being a diary  having the quality of a diary  the
exhibition is essentially about drawing." Present here  then  are members of Dine's family. His
wife photographer Diana Michener appears in multiple  heavily worked portraits. Images of close
friends and fellow creatives move throughout the publication  including drawings of artist
Susan Rothenberg  printer Aldo Crommelynck  poet Robert Creeley  and printer and publisher
Gerhard Steidl  with whom he created this book. The blemishes  wrinkles and even stains that
imprint themselves upon skin similarly appear upon the surfaces of Dine's drawings as he
encounters and grapples with his subjects over time. Providing a poignant reflection upon a
career characterized by digesting the world through making  Dine concludes: "This is what I'm
left with. I'm left with drawing."  Co-published with the Bowdoin College Museum of Art
