Review title: a state of mind...
Product review: In this exceptional catalogue, Jim Dine portrays over 300 studies on Greek and Roman sculptures... They are not your regular "realist" studies however, showing the masculine structure of their idolized figures. They are close up portrait studies of their "perfect" features that are shown to be anything but. He captures their spirit in a most amazing way, using them as a means to express himself on another level. At the begining of the book, Jim Dine mentions that emotions are used as a medium, in this specific case, it was anger. Anger at not being able to produce, yet trying anyway.These portrait studies were done using various mediums such as pastel, oil paint, pepsi cola, charcoal, and other untraditional mediums. It is a book I would recommend to anyone who sees the portrait as a very charged element in art.
