Jim Dine, Venice 2024


One of the collateral shows this year at the Venice Biennale is artist Jim Dine at the Palazzo Rocca.
We were unaware of this show happening, but pleased to see posters around town letting us know it was going on.

The exhibition is well worth a visit. Some classic pieces are on view, including paintings and sculptures...




Jim Dine is known for his "Heart" paintings, as well as many other works.


Another very well known series...













On point for the state of the world today, eh?




One of his self portraits...





As always during the Biennale, it's fabulous to see these contemporary pieces in an old, lovely palazzo.



We liked this piece a lot...








A close up of the previous painting...








There were several of these large paintings with copper tubing.




Johnny didn't like this, but Janelle did.






Yet another self portrait.



This gives you an idea of the size.

 It's an interesting show, and we were glad to see it.
