COMMENTS
”Also from 1972 is the tapestry La Cible (The Target) which, in concept, is based on two works from 1951: the lithograph The Target and the oil painting The Law Court, part of the Justice series. Both explored optics, specifically binocular vision, a topic that had fascinated Wayne some twenty years earlier, perhaps understandable as she had been nearsighted from birth.”
—Christa C. Mayer Thurman, curator June Wayne’s Narrative Tapestries: Tidal Waves, DNA, and the Cosmos", Art Institute of Chicago” 2010.
