COMMENTS
In the lithographs Barcelona Wave, Wayne continued to morph her fingerprint into a wave, seeing similarities of rhythm and kinetic form.
“I did this as an homage to Barcelona, a town I liked very much. Then I destroyed most of the edition. There may be a few impressions extant. Later I regretted destroying it.” (From “A Catalogue Raisonné 1936-2006, June Wayne - The Art of Everything” by Robert P. Conway).
