Pontic Rhododendron 1984

"Pontic Rhododendron" is a 1984 print by American artist Jim Dine, notable for its minimalist composition and bold contrasts. The print features a single rhododendron flower rendered in black silhouette against a light gray background, which is textured with scribbled lines. This abstract treatment emphasizes the form of the flower and its delicate structure, creating a powerful visual statement. Dine's work frequently explores themes of nature and the human condition, often employing simple and repetitive motifs.
