Jim Dine A History of Gardening
“Even when I wasn’t gardening, I was thinking about it and about plants. I’ve always thought about plants, and not just edible ones. I thought about flowers and trees. It goes back to a when I was a boy in Ohio.”
Jim Dine has gardened his entire life; beginning when he worked with his grandmother to grow vegetables and flowers in their back garden in Ohio. This hard-back publication celebrates the magnificent life forms that continue to occupy the artist’s mind, illustrating works made over five decades in a wide variety of mediums.
A History of Gardening includes an essay by art historian and art critic Martin Gayford, which discusses the sources of inspiration Dine draws upon, from the artist’s own surroundings to the history of botanical illustration.
