• Dine is a painter and printmaker in the Renaissance tradition. He is a master of the observation of reality reflected by his sensitive and skillful draftsmanship. He appropriates recognized symbols such as the heart, bathrobe and Venus d'Milo which appear in paintings, prints and drawings. Dine uses these symbols coupled with his graphic and painterly virtuosity to elicit strong emotional responses with each piece.

• His work has a level of complexity and variety which combine to form rich poetic contexts. In 1970, the Whitney Museum of American Art gave Dine his first retrospective exhibition. He has had a large number of private and public painting and sculpture commissions
