Romancing in Late Winter 晩冬のロマンス

DINE, Jim ジム・ダイン

A heart fills the large picture. It is painted in rather unexpected greenish colors, and covered by dark shadows, it looks as if it is dripping with dark blood.The heart is one of the central motifs of Jim Dine along with the bathrobe and household tools, and since he first used it in 1965 in the stage set for Shakespeare's "Midsummer Night's Dream", it has appeared repeatedly in his works. The shape of heart has been used as symbol of love since antiquity. Jim Dine pours all his love and emotions as a painter into this motif. For him, to paint a heart means to create a painting. The heart, in being a symbol, transcends the division between the abstract and the figurative, and thus makes an ideal theme. Dine made his debut on the art scene in the late 195Os with his Happenings, and became a noted figure in Pop Art in the 196Os with his paintings employing objects from everyday life. His art, however, has been always characterized more by his own biographical elements than by anything else. Since the 1970s, he has been recognized as a powerful painter who revived the Expressionist tradition in contemporary American painting. In 1981, the year this work was produced, the artist is said to have been having hard days himself due to his friend's emotional crisis.rnrn

作品画像:(左)山の向こうの中腹のちっぽけな村はすでに見えなくなり、ふたたび春が巡ってきた。葡萄の木はあたかも塀の笠石の下を匍う病める大蛇のように見える。生あたたかい空気のなかを褐色の光が動きまわっていた。似たりよったりの毎日が作りだす空白は伐り残した若木まで切り倒すだろう。日々の暮らしのなかで樹木の茂みは岩のように突き出ている。(右)自分の暮らした村がこんなに小さく思われたことはない。太陽が姿をみせた。背の高いポプラの林は風に吹き動かされる砂浜のような格好をしている。切れ目のないその連続を見ているだけで眼がくらんでくる。変り映えしない日々の連続に酔うことができたなら象や蛇をしとめた気にもなれる。蝶が舞うようにそんな風に彼はものを識ったのである。

(Left) The little village on the far mountainside was already out of sight, and spring was coming around again. The grape trees were like large ailing snakes creeping under the coping stones of the wall. A brown light moved about in the tepid air. The void created by the selfsame every day is likely to chop down even the young trees that were left behind. In this everyday life, a thicket of trees protrudes like a boulder. (Right) The village I lived in has never been thought of as so small. The sun showed itself. The tall poplar forest looks like a beach being blown about by the wind. I grow dizzy just watching that seamless succession. If I can manage to get drunk on this succession of unchanging days, I can also grow to feel like I have taken down an elephant or snake. He differentiated things in this way, like a fluttering butterfly.
