Why did Jim Dine draw tools?
Jim Dine drew tools for several reasons. He believes that tools connect humans with the past, and he is interested in capturing the history of humanity through the tools used by previous generations in his art. In addition, tools hold personal significance for Dine, whose family owned a hardware store in Cincinnati, Ohio. On 1stDibs, find a collection of Jim Dine art.
