June Wayne (American, 1918-2011), Marie Dedieu, 1985 Color Lithograph
June Wayne (American, 1918–2011) was a highly influential American printmaker, painter, designer, author, and educator best known for founding the Tamarind Lithography Workshop in Los Angeles in 1960, an institution widely credited with revitalizing fine art lithography in the United States during the postwar era. A pioneering figure in modern American printmaking, Wayne collaborated with generations of artists and master printers while helping elevate lithography to a major contemporary fine art medium. Her works are held in prominent institutional collections including the Museum of Modern Art, National Gallery of Art, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, National Museum of Women in the Arts, and the Norton Simon Museum.
Marie Dedieu, 1985, color lithograph on white wove paper by June Wayne. The composition presents a brightly colored portrait of Marie Dedieu seated before a green field bearing the French words “témoignages des femmes,” with her white hair, red jacket, yellow vest, and pale pink complexion reduced to broad, sharply defined areas of color. Dedieu was a French feminist, writer, actress, and gallerist who directed the Galerie des Femmes in Paris, where she exhibited Wayne’s work. The print was created in the same year and is known as Marie Dedieu. This impression is numbered 4/15, titled “Marie Dedieu,” and signed “June Wayne” in graphite along the lower margin, with blindstamps at the lower corners. The verso bears a red copyright stamp reading “© ’85 All Rights Reserved June Wayne,” the graphite notation “JW341-85,” and an additional blindstamp. Sheet measures approximately 36 x 26 inches. The sheet shows light toning and minor handling, with small traces of old adhesive or mounting residue along the upper verso; image presents well. Provenance of Martin and Enid Gleich.
