COMMENTS
These lithographs were inspired by a sunset Wayne saw from a balcony in Santa Monica overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
—“A Catalogue Raisonné 1936-2006, June Wayne - The Art of Everything” by Robert P. Conway.
“Between”, the title of these lithographs, plays on the connection between the terrestrial and extraterrestrial. The Southern California environment contributed to Wayne's interest in space science. “The quality of light we have have here... The vast expanses of sky... I think that took me off the earth and got me interested in space.”
—June Wayne, from “June Wayne, Art and Science” by Jay Belloli, quoting a conversation between the Artist and biographer Betty Ann Brown, from the Pasadena Museum of California Art exhibition catalogue, 2014.
