Lithograph offset from Zinc Plates on Orange Hodgekinson handmade paper - Each panel measures 25 5/8 × 15 3/4 in (65.1 × 40 cm) - Published by Petersburg Press, London. // Hammers Diptych by Jim Dine, created in 1970, is a lithograph offset from zinc plates on orange Hodgkinson handmade paper. This diptych features two panels: the left panel presents a detailed depiction of two hammers rendered in a soft, almost ghostly outline, while the right panel shows a bold, dark, and abstracted silhouette of a hammer achieved with spray-like texture. Dine’s work often emphasizes everyday objects, and here, he transforms the simple hammer into a symbol of labor and craftsmanship. The contrasting techniques highlight themes of presence and absence, solidity and dissolution, inviting contemplation of the object's form and function.

What is pop-art?
Pop Art is an art movement that began in Britain in 1955 and in the late 1950s in the U.S. It challenged traditional fine arts by incorporating imagery from popular culture, such as news, advertising, and comic books. Pop Art often isolates and recontextualizes materials, combining them with unrelated elements. The movement is more about the attitudes and ideas that inspired it than the specific art itself. Pop Art is seen as a reaction against the dominant ideas of Abstract Expressionism, bringing everyday consumer culture into the realm of fine art.
