Woodcut and hand color etching on Rives BFK Paper // Jim Dine's The Octopus (2015) is a vibrant limited edition woodcut and hand-colored etching on Rives BFK paper. The composition features two large, yellow heart shapes side by side, set against a deep, swirling blue background. The hearts, imperfect and textured, convey a raw, emotional quality, while the swirling patterns in the background add a sense of movement and organic fluidity, reminiscent of tentacles, connecting to the title The Octopus. Dine's expressive brushstrokes and the bold contrast between the yellow and blue create a dynamic and visually engaging piece, typical of his iconic style.

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.
