Overview
Untitled is a 1962 lithograph by American artist Jim Dine, born in 1935. It exemplifies his multidisciplinary practice, which encompasses various mediums including printmaking.
Subject & Meaning
The print depicts two simple, black figures on thin lines. One figure has a long neck and small head, holding an unidentified object, while the other resembles a melted mask or ghost. The rough, uneven lines evoke a sense of spontaneity.
Technique & Style
