Jim Dine created three paintings in different eras: "Red Poinsettia" from 1991, "Coming of the Sun" from 1971, and "Climbing out of Babylon" from 1986. The document compares and contrasts the three paintings across four categories: color and medium, style, semiotics, and form. It finds both similarities and differences between the paintings in each of these areas and aims to provide an overview of Dine's artistic evolution and themes over different periods of his career.
