The Hunter

June Wayne, Kafka Series
12¼ x 9¾ in.
Lithograph, 1953.

COMMENT
“The hawklike head of a hunter draws from Herbert Read’s The Green Child, in which notions of truth and beauty revolve around the perfectibility of crystals.”
In preparing the drawing for the lithograph “I was trying to work out the problem of how one kind of image comes through another. It was very hard to make an eye that was convincing, that had energy.”
—June Wayne, from Robert P. Conway, “A Catalogue Raisonné 1936-2006, June Wayne: The Art of Everything” Rutgers University Press, 2007.
