COMMENTS
“Wayne believes her rendezvous with outer space was implicit in her early tunnel images from the late 1940s and became conscious on her return from Paris with the John Donne Series, which was concurrent with the launchings of the Sputnik, Vanguard, and Explorer satellites in 1957-58. She realized that the cosmic imagery that had inspired generations of poets had been superseded by a new vision of the cosmos that scientists were now discovering.”
—Robert P. Conway, “A Catalogue Raisonné 1936-2006, June Wayne - The Art of Everything“.
