COMMENTS
"Wayne's experiments with perception in the late forties and early fifties, in paintings and lithographs in which movement and details were brought within the same picture plane, compresses a panoramic vista—what the Artist called ‘a reverse cinerama’. Scanning GT, 1987, an exploration in perception made decades later, achieves a synthesis of such fixed and disparate elements as the two identical rectangles of acrylic on wood, the hills, and valleys of collage elements of molded paper—the determined detail in an ever unfurling field, the space-bending but almost imperceptible transition of the surrounding ground from yellow to its polar opposite and magnetized complement, violet.”
