Ablaze State II

The artist has always pursued a vision remarkably unaffected by fashion, or the prevailing styles. For despite the interest in the fourth dimension displayed by some twentieth-century artists, the modernist preoccupation with flatness has in many way discouraged the visual exploration of space-time, as did postwar American art, with the insistence on two-dimensional materiality. It is hardly surprising, therefore, that June Wayne has looked for inspiration not to her contemporaries, but to artists of other centuries who handled related problems.
