"Dragon Arum" is a 1984 lithograph by Jim Dine. The artwork depicts a single, large arum lily in bold, black lines against a white background. Dine is known for his focus on everyday objects, often focusing on themes of mortality and sexuality. The stark contrasts and bold lines of the print evoke the dramatic beauty of the arum lily, while the artist's use of a traditional printmaking technique lends a sense of timelessness to the composition.
