COMMENTS
“Also from 1972 is the tapestry La Cible (The Target) which, in concept, is based on two works from 1951: the lithography 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 of “June Wayne’s Narrative Tapestries: Tidal Waves, DNA, and the Cosmos” exhibition catalogue, Art Institute of Chicago, 2010.
