Jim Dine, born June 16, 1935, is an American artist known for his prominent contributions to the formations of both Performance Art and Pop Art. Dine's work can be described as multimedia as it includes painting, drawing, printmaking , sculpture and photography. His early works comprised mostly of assemblage and recently he has turned his focus increasingly toward poetry. The artist has been closely associated with many art movements including Neo-Dada, Abstract Expressionism, and Pop Art, although he has avoided such classifications.

Dine has had more than 300 solo exhibitions, including retrospectives at the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York (1970), the Museum of Modern Art, New York (1978), Walker Art Center, Minneapolis (1984–85), Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park, Grand Rapids, Michigan (2011) and Museum Folkwang, Essen (2015–16).
