Nature has long been a catalyst for both Terry Winters and Jim Dine, as is evident from the many lush and tactile drawings that each artist has made. For decades Winters has collected scientific imagery, and used it as a kind of sourcebook for his abstract graphic work. In the early 1980s, he made drawings of natural forms such as plant spores and fungi, taking inspiration especially from natural history museums and book illustrations. Dine, a prolific draftsman who has embraced a wide range of subjects, has directed careful attention in some of his drawings to botanical specimens, including weeds such as the common mullein. Here his desire to depict this particular form of plant life to scale prompted him to extend his drawing onto a second sheet of paper. The vigorous and gestural execution of these drawings by Winters and Dine underscores the vitality of their plant-inspired forms.
