Carrion Flower 1984

Jim Dine's 1984 lithograph, "Carrion Flower," features a detailed, stylized depiction of the flower, rendered in black ink. The flower, a central motif in Dine's work, is a symbol of both beauty and decay. The artist's signature use of bold lines and the chaotic background of scribbled marks create a dynamic composition that suggests a sense of urgency and the passage of time. Dine's explorations of mortality and the fleeting nature of life are evident in this iconic print.
