Jim Dine  (Cincinnati, Ohio, 1935) is an American artist who rejected any formal association with Pop Art, but who is still commonly considered an important exponent of this art movement.  He became famous for his " happenings ", chaotic art performances originally invented together with other important artists, such as Claes Oldenburg and Allan Kaprow, and important musicians, like John Cage. His work was featured in the historic exhibition "New Painting of Common Objects" at the Norton Simon Museum, one of the earliest exhibitions of Pop Art.
