Lot Essay

“As a kid I liked Valentine’s Day, not because I was in love, necessarily, but because I liked the redness of it. … When I first used the heart I didn’t know it would become an abiding theme. Typically, though, I always go where my romance takes me, so it is an emblem that I return to with a lot of affection.”
-Jim Dine
