Woodcut and carborundum with hand-coloring.
Signed, dated, and numbered in pencil.
Literature: Carpenter 46.
'The Woodcut Self' by Jim Dine is a 1991 woodcut measuring 104.1 × 83.8 cm. A large turquoise heart dominates the composition, rendered in rough, gestural strokes that retain the grain and physical resistance of the wood block. A single, photorealistically rendered eye sits just above the heart's centre — the contrast between that precise, almost unsettling eye and the raw mark-making around it is the work's central tension. Dine has returned to the heart motif throughout his career since the early 1960s, using it not as sentimental shorthand but as a self-portrait surrogate — a recurring stand-in for the artist's own presence. The deep red and black ground, flecked with teal, pushes the heart forward while reinforcing the brooding intensity of the single eye. The woodcut medium itself, with its inherent resistance and physicality, suits Dine's ongoing dialogue with art history and the expressive potential of traditional printmaking techniques.

What is Happening?
A Happening is a term used to describe artistic and theatrical events held by artists in the 1950s and 60s. These events were typically staged in gallery installations or planned environments and often involved audience participation, along with elements like lighting, sounds, and slide projections. Happenings were a precursor to performance art, which later included the active participation of the artists themselves.
