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 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.
