The first contemporary art project at the Villa, the work presents new sculpture and poetry by Dine inspired by ancient objects in the Museum's collection. Two ancient Greek statuettes of dancing women, are magnified in Dine's four eight-foot-high painted wood female figures. Their arrangement around a seven-foot-high self-portrait head echoes the sculptural group Poet as Orpheus with Two Sirens.</p> <p><a href="http://artbabble.org/video/getty-museum/jim-dines-poet-singing-flowering-sheets-documentary" target="_blank">read more</a></p> http://artbabble.org/video/getty-museum/jim-dines-poet-singing-flowering-sheets-documentary#comments American Art American Artist Becoming / Being an Artist installation Jim Dine Poet Singing (The Flowering Sheets) Poetry Sculpture Ancient Art Community Inspiration Contemporary Art Materials and Process Objects Perception The J.
