Summary	This work was shown alongside works by Warhol, Lichtenstein, and others in the New Realists exhibition held at the Sidney Janis Gallery in 1962, a turning point in the wider recognition of Pop Art. This association is one reason Dine is often classified as a Pop artist. The work takes as its motif a lawn mower, a tool found in virtually every mass-produced suburban American home after the war. Although Dine presents the lawn mower itself like one of Duchamp’s readymades, he does not stop there: he applies green paint to its surface and paints the background canvas with the blue of the sky and, in Abstract Expressionist brushstrokes, the green of flying grass clippings. Reflecting both its era and Dine’s characteristic fascination with tools, the work offers a distinctly Pop Art interpretation and expression.

Native place	Cincinnati,USA
Birth	1935
Biography	Jim Dine was born in Cincinnati, Ohio. He moved to New York in 1958 and began his artistic career there alongside Claes Oldenburg and other artists. Dine began as a performer in happenings, which were then at the height of their popularity. In the early 1960s, he began exhibiting paintings that featured familiar objects such as neckties. He also began attaching actual tools directly to his works, attracting attention as one of the Pop artists. He moved briefly to London during the latter half of the 1960s. After returning to the United States in the 1970s, he left the city and distanced himself from the urban phenomenon of Pop Art. Unlike other Pop artists, Dine had a strong interest in the body; his choice of subject matter was more personal, and he felt strongly about his subjects. As a result, a tendency toward Expressionism can be seen consistently throughout his work.
