Screenprint, etching with aquatint printed in colours and hand-colouring, on Arches paper. Signed, dated and inscribed ‘P/P’ in pencil, a printer's proof aside from the edition of 18. Printed by Jack Shirreff at 107 Workshop, Wiltshire. Literature: Carpenter 19. Running Hammers in a Landscape (1987) by Jim Dine is a vivid and dynamic print combining screenprint, etching, aquatint, and hand-colouring. The composition features a surreal procession of upright hammers, set against an expressive landscape of swirling skies and grassy textures. Each hammer appears animated, almost marching forward, turning a mundane tool into a forceful presence. The energetic marks and layered textures exemplify Dine’s gestural approach to printmaking, while the repetition of the hammer motif—frequently seen in his work—references labor, identity, and personal symbolism. Printed as a printer’s proof outside the edition of 18, this piece showcases Dine’s ability to merge everyday objects with psychological intensity and painterly technique.

What is Gestural?
Gestural art is a term that describes painting with freely sweeping brushstrokes. The primary goal of gestural art is to allow the artist to physically express emotional impulses. The varied, yet expressive paint marks are intended to convey the artist's inner thoughts and emotions, which viewers are believed to understand through the dynamic and spontaneous application of paint.
