Jim Dine: “This Is Me” at Yale University Art Gallery

Through early June

Jim Dine: “This Is Me” is on view on the museum’s fourth floor through early June. The selection of works showcases the avatars for the artist himself, ranging from paintbrushes to house and garden tools to character studies and crows. The extremely personal images—the creations of a self-described expressionist thinker—demonstrate the workings of Dine’s subconscious, constructing what he has called an “autobiography through objects.” He articulated his inclination toward self-portraiture in his poem “My Portrait”:
