June Leaf | |||||||||
 | |||||||||
Title: Couple and A Dog (1967) oil on canvas - 40"H x 50"W Biography: | |||||||||
June Leaf was born in Chicago, Illinois in 1929. In the fifties and sixties she taught at the Illinois Institute of Design, the Art Institute of Chicago and the Parsons School of Design, New York. She became associated with the Rhino Horn artists and exhibited in several of their shows in the early seventies. All of June Leaf's sculptures are kinetic in nature and display a great deal of humor. There is a close relationship between the sculptures and the paintings; in fact, many of the images appear in both media. The subject matter reflects the artist's experiences growing up in Chicago and living in New York City and Mabou, Cape Breton Island. | |||||||||
