COMMENTS
In a work which foreshadows her monumental painting “Propellar”, we see in June Wayne’s “Glide’ the movement of air pushed by what appears to be a rotating blade.

"Wayne takes Leonardo as a model of Modernism. Da Vinci, whose drawings from nature track an ‘invisible energy that was shaping the trees and carving the waters into waves’ created an open-ended conceptual art fueled by scientific curiosity.”
—Arlene Raven, curator “June Wayne, A Retrospective”, Neuberger Museum of Art, 1997, exhibition catalogue essay.
