Louisiana poster with work from the Louisiana collection, Words for Paul's daughters and a little Wrench, (1971), by the American artist, Jim Dine (b. 1935). Among Dine's works is a series of "combine-paintings" (a term coined by his contemporary Robert Rauschenberg), in which Dine combines painting - and words - with various everyday objects. For example, as here, a wrench - wrench - at the edge of the work.
Jim Dine was among the artists who created the first happenings in New York in the early 1960s with the desire to break down the barrier between the artwork and its surroundings.
Jim Dine, like his colleague Claes Oldenburg and other pop artists, was interested in ordinary, everyday things. He painted pictures of ties, bathrobes and other items of clothing.
