About this work

This drawing shows two stick-figure people in black outlines, standing against dark shapes. One figure wears a dress, the other pants and a shirt. Between them is a big red cross. The artist scribbled notes in red: *"man in woman costume"* and *"woman in male costume,"* plus *"white clothes"* and *"white work gloves."* The figures look like they’re dressed up but also a bit messy—like sketches left unfinished. The red cross and the notes feel urgent, almost like a quick idea jotted down. Next, check out Jim Dine to see more of his bold, mixed-media work.
