The fourth state of a series of modifications of Jim Dine’s self portrait wearing a flat cap. The portrait begins as a traditional representation and as the states progress, a background of trees and flowers emerges, lines on the face fade, and in this fourth and final state, soft hair and plants flank his face. This copy is not previously owned and comes from the archive of the publisher.
