Morning Star Dance,, (undated)

Lubell 6/15: 109

Colored white line woodcut print of a group of odd, quasi-figural characters engaged in some kind of dance. Befitting the name, they appear closer to stellar objects taken a slight anthropomorphic form than actual humans – all jutted points and curved fins. The colors (maybe chalk?) are similarly bright and undefined; red, yellow, blue, pinks and purples, black, grey, set to an incongruously grey (albeit with red dots) background. It all works to create a sense of energy and movement. Signed Winifred Milius Lubell. See [Masonite] block cut block, Dance of the Morning Star (Lubell 469, Box 31). A similar figure was used in the book, Metamorphosis of Baubo, Figure 1.3, page 7.
