From the Rare Limited Artist Proof Edition -Published by Pyramid Arts Ltd Tampa -Suite: Eight Sheets from an Undefined Novel -Hand Colored Etching on German Etching Paper -excellent condition -Hand Signed in Pencil Numbered Dated // Die-Maker by Jim Dine is a limited edition hand-colored etching from 1976, depicting a contemplative, faceless figure seated in a relaxed posture. Rendered with delicate lines and subtle shading, the figure wears a suit, lending an air of professionalism or craftsmanship. The title, Die-Maker, hints at the profession of the subject, yet the faceless quality evokes a sense of anonymity, as though representing a universal worker rather than an individual. Dine’s minimal use of color against the soft German etching paper creates a subdued, introspective atmosphere. This artwork, part of the suite Eight Sheets from an Undefined Novel, reflects Dine’s interest in exploring identity and the tools of labor.

What is appropriation?
Appropriation in art involves using pre-existing images or objects with little or no modification. This technique has played a significant role across various art forms, including visual arts, music, performance, and literature. In visual arts, appropriation refers to the practice of adopting, sampling, recycling, or borrowing elements—or even entire forms—of existing visual culture, integrating them into new works to create meaning or critique.
