Lubell 6/14: 107a-b Color woodcut print. Grouping of various statues and fetish dolls of archaic female deities, organized in a general way that shows no clear order. Just as the color is different for each one, the styles lead to a number of totally different shapes and designs. Signed Winifred Lubell. The two prints have slightly different composition and coloring of the figures. Print 107a has a blue border and is printed on brown rice paper. Print 107b has a yellow chalk...

Lubell 6/15: 108 Colored white line woodcut print of a large, black vulture circling three sleeping women, while the scents and smoke of a large aroma lamp waft to the right. The women, in contrast to both the bird and the multiple blues of the sky, are colored in browns and greys that gives them the appearance of bronze statues. The end of the sky connects with a black line on the bottom and bottom-left parts of the picture to create an incomplete border. Signed Winifred Milius...

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...

Lubell 6/15: 110a-c Black and white woodcut print that depicts a woman and man in Chinese dress figures (Chinese mythological creation figures of forefather and foremother of humans?), with mermaid/serpent tails above [birds?] with curling tails and wavy lines (water?). They are wielding vaguely defined instruments as they fly above birds with "cloudy" bodies and the sea, with large birds behind them. Signed Winifred Milius Lubell. Prints 110a and 110c are the mirror...

Lubell 6/15: 111 Colored white line woodcut print of the Greek goddess, likely lamenting the loss of her daughter Persephone. A second woman is reaching out to her, while two in the background move with white palm fronds. Like other white line woodcuts, the colors are striking: a red sun and dark blue sky make a striking background image, contrasting further with purple, green, and light blue clothing, red fruits, and brown skin. Signed Winifred Milius Lubell. See woodcut titled...

Lubell 6/15: 112 Colored white line woodcut print of Hekate, the Greek goddess identified with the moon, witchcraft and sorcery, and magic. Many of the visual elements identified with her – a torch, wings, wild dogs, and her triple-bodied form among them – are used here. Some of Hekate's spheres of influence are often associated with women in various cultures, making her a likely inevitable choice for Lubell to depict. Signed Winifred Milius Lubell. See woodblock, ...

Lubell 6/16: 113 Wood engraving of small black and white images of three animals – deer, spotted lion and rabbit – bordered by circle and ordered inside a large, non-figural pattern. The organization makes it look like a triptych, with the smaller images inside the images holding the most importance. Signed W. Lubell. Other copies of this print are identified as Lubell 285. This image is one of three that forms a part of a larger print: see Lubell 291, Fragments from Athena’s...

Lubell 6/16: 114a-b Black and white woodcut print of the Erinyes from Greek mythology (also known as the Furies), female vengeance deities (the name "Semnai" comes from the ending to Aeschylus' Oresteia, after Athena renames them to reflect their change into protectors of justice). The piece depicts two winged women, one on the ground and one in the air, flanked by multiple animals and symbols (wheels, crosses and swastikas). The woman on...

Lubell 6/16: 115 Colored white line woodcut print of three goddesses with a variety of avian imagery. Above them fly two birds, with either more birds or figures thereof on their heads. What appears to be wash coloring comes in red, orange, green, blue, and grey. Styles seem disparate and distinct, but all seem to be vaguely old. Position appears somewhat similar to the non-naturalist use of size in Egyptian art. Alternate titles noted on lower front: ...

Lubell 6/16: 116 Colored white line woodcut print of three archaic, clay, female figures. All of them are explicitly maternal in design – each one has a held child as part of their figure – but the context is reduced to a dark purple haze. Colors are all warm, with reds and yellows. Signed Winifred Lubell. See woodblock titled Epiphany (Lubell 434, Box 23). Also print Lubell 155 (Nipple Stock). 36.6 x...
