Items related to Jim Dine: Jewish Fate
A lovingly illustrated poetic tribute to the hardware store of Jim Dine’s youth
Jewish Fate is an evocative autobiographical poem by American artist Jim Dine (born 1939) accompanied by 18 lithographs of one of his favorite motifs―tools. Dine reminisces about his childhood days spent at his grandfather's hardware store in Cincinnati, Ohio, where he worked weekends and summers for ten years from the age of nine, sorting screws and opening barrels of nails to help out in the overflowing store.
Among the vivid memories of his former co-workers, one can trace the development of Dine's love for the aesthetics and utility of tools, the imagery of which continues to inform his artistic practices today. This longtime affection is seen in the drawings of hammers, rollers, brushes and wrenches depicted in this book, all realized in the artist's inimitable unfinished style.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Jewish Fate is an evocative autobiographical poem by Jim Dine accompanied by 18 lithographs of one of his favorite motifs, tools. The poem shows Dine reminiscing about his childhood days spent at his grandfather's hardware store in Cincinnati, where he worked every Saturday and summer for ten years from the age of nine.Dine's vivid co-workers shape his memories. There is the head shipping clerk Joe Kibbing: tall, thin, "very dramatic and high strung and didn't take orders easily." Joe's older brother Bud was the dignified head salesman: "a soft-spoken, intelligent man who had he had an education past high school might have been a lawyer or a surgeon." And finally there was Willie Tapp, "short and lithe . he dressed elegantly like a lot of black guys did then for a guy loading trucks and handling greasy tools and heavy boxes. This handsome, lovely man showed up for work drunk most Saturdays, but managed to perform most times." Among these characters in the inspirational, overflowing store Dine developed his love for tools which accompanies his art today and is seen in the hammers, rollers, brushes and wrenches in this book-all realized in Dine's inimitable unfinished style, in his words: "Always correcting and reinventing the drawing." Jewish Fate is an evocative autobiographical poem by Jim Dine (born 1935) accompanied by 18 lithographs of one of his favorite motifs, tools. The poem shows Dine reminiscing about his childhood days spent at his grandfather's hardware store in Cincinnati.
