- Summary
- "In 1984, when Jim Dine first visited Munich's Glyptothek, a museum dedicated to antique sculpture, he was compelled to create a book of prints to house, in his own words, "my Glyptothek." In preparation for the prints he created a series of forty drawings, known as the Glyptotek Drawings.* Drawn from the Greek and Roman sculpture in Munich, as well as other museum collections, the entire suite forms a single work. "I think each individual drawing could stand alone," Dine said, "but as a single work all forty make a narrative about learning from the Ancient World." Jim Dine: The Glyptotek Drawings explores Dine's meditation on the antique world.... Rich in imagery, and visual appeal, this important group is representative of Dine's skillful union of traditional subject matter and modern drawing technique."--From publisher description.
