Lubell 6/7: 80
A wood cut print of what appears to be a water scene, with some objects (flotsam? fish? seaweed?) in the water. The monochromatic and stark nature of the piece makes defining the content a little difficult – one piece looks equally like a rock or sea creature – but the repeated water lines give it dynamism.

Lubell 6/8: 81 Black and colored woodcut print with hand colored highlights on tan paper. A statue of a goddess covered in floral ephemera. She has blooming flowers on branches for earrings, and a clam shell necklace. The most distinctive element, however, is the wheat stalks bound on her lap. This piece presumably is of an older goddess to whom her devotees give natural offerings. In contrast to some of the artist's other goddess drawings, this lacks some of the more distinctive...

Both prints are signed Winifred Milius Lubell, but 82b is titled Sarasvati astride the bird Garuda. Notation to lower left on print 82a reads “No Color.” Prints...

Lubell 6/9: 84a-b Colored white line woodcut print of an arrangement of small statues and fetish dolls of various female deities. Shapes, materials (specifically represented by color), and degree of naturalism are all distinct. Roughly half of the figures have heads. Colors – yellows, reds, and greys, along with a green background – appear similar to a wash. A red border surrounds the piece. Signed Winifred Milius Lubell. Print 84b is titled Goddess...

Lubell 6/9: 85 Colored white line woodcut print depicting one of the many female figurines found in Çatalhӧyük (also spelled similarly to the title), an Anatolian proto-city from 7,500 – 5,700 BCE whose surviving sculpture of female deities significantly outnumbered their male counterparts. Work is largely non-figural, with the exception of the statue itself, worshippers are possibly represented by what appear to be floating hands, while the walls of the temple are covered in...

Lubell 6/9: 86 Colored white line woodcut print of a selection of lichen. Unlike many others of Lubell's depictions, there is no naturalism or even a tacit concern for space; the plants are just jumbled around each other like non-figural art patterns. A rather extensive use of color differentiates the pieces; greens, yellows, browns, purples, blues, orange, and black are all used. Signed Winifred Lubell. Lubell 86, titled Lichen Thicket #1 and...

Lubell 6/10: 88 Colored white line woodcut print of the Babylonian fertility goddess, leading a mythological animal (possibly a griffin; it has a lion's head and bird wings). In her hands is a 7-pointed flower (with an eighth possibly obscured from our perspective); this is likely a reference to the 8-pointed star associated with her. With the exception of a few blues, the majority of the piece uses warm colors, particularly reds and yellows. Red, yellow, and black are used for...

Lubell 6/10: 89 Colored white line woodcut print of a woman surrounded by fawning animals – a swan, leopard, jackal, turtle, and moth among them. Colors lean more towards warmer; there are a lot of reds, yellows, and blacks, with a few blues and greens to offset them. Style appears Egyptian or Hellenic, with less focus on naturalism and more on abstract placement of objects. Several minor patterns fill up the space. Signed Winifred Lubell. Verso of original matting expands the...

Lubell 6/10: 90 Colored white line woodcut print of two wasps walking on a grouping of three pears. The fruit is on tiles? (picnic blanket?), and autumnal fallen leaves can be seen in the background. The color (presumably wash), fittingly for bright insects and fruit, is appropriately colorful, with blue and purple for the tile pattern contrasted with the greens, yellows, and browns of the natural world. Signed Winifred Lubell, with a number 3 below the signature. The prints...

Lubell 6/10: 91
Colored white line woodcut print of a pear tree branch in bloom. Several butterflies are resting on or flying next to it. Its use of bold colors – blue, green, and pink particularly – gives it a spring sensibility. Signed Winifred Lubell. See woodblock titled Pear Blossom (Lubell 473, Box 33).
