Published by Petersburg Press, London. // Dorian Gray, Opium by Jim Dine, created in 1968, is an etching that explores themes of identity and transformation inspired by the character of Dorian Gray from Oscar Wilde’s novel. The composition features a loosely drawn figure in a white vinyl suit, annotated with handwritten labels and descriptions. The figure's head is obscured by chaotic, scribbled lines, giving it a surreal, haunting quality, as if representing the character’s moral and psychological decay. Additional text like Black Narcissus is inscribed beside the figure, enhancing the layered symbolism. Dine’s use of sparse, expressive lines and handwritten annotations creates an intimate, almost raw portrayal that hints at inner turmoil and the duality of appearance versus reality. Measuring 45 cm by 31 cm, this work invites viewers to reflect on themes of vanity, identity, and the nature of self-destruction.

What is Kitsch?

Kitsch is a term used to describe cheap, commercial, sentimental, or vulgar art and objects commonly associated with popular culture. The word is borrowed from German, where it originally means trash. Since the 1920s, kitsch has been used to denote the opposite of high art, often implying that the work lacks sophistication or artistic merit.
