Twisted Torso of a Youth

1989
Dine made this drawing of an antique sculpture from the Munich Glyptothek in his London studio. He drew the figure of the twisted youth onto a screen print he had made from a photograph that his wife had taken of the studio. The sheet combines multiple layers of Dine's creative engagement with the antique: his studio photograph beneath the drawing shows the artist at work on a life-sized sculpture of Venus.
