Untitled is a 1963 ink by June Wayne, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a dark blue sky with thin, wavy lines that look like rain or wind. In the center, a bright, glowing figure stands out—it’s a person with a halo of light around their head, holding a long, glowing staff. Tiny white dots scatter the background like stars or snow. The figure’s light stands out sharply against the dark, almost like a beacon. The artist used a printing method that lets light and shadow play off each other in a simple but striking way. Next, check out lithography to see how this technique works.
June Claire Wayne was an American painter, printmaker, tapestry innovator, educator, and activist. She founded Tamarind Lithography Workshop (1960–1970), a then California-based nonprofit print shop dedicated to lithography.
