ARTIST: Wynn Bullock

TITLE: Child in Forest, 1951,

MEDIUM: Vintage Silver Gelatin

IMAGE SIZE: 7 1/2 x 9 1/2 in

DESCRIPTION: Signed and dated in pencil mount recto; inscribed "To Don, Happy 10th Birthday, Wynn" and Mar Vista stamp mount verso. Judging from the mount board and apparent lack of fluorescence, this print was likely made in the 1950s. This particular composition is a rare alternative to the version most frequently reproduced; this image was made after Wynn tore off one of the fern leaves by his daughter Barbara's feet and placed it at her head. Thus, there are only two leaves on the log instead of the original three. This is the most tonally virtuous print the Gallery has seen—the shadows are deep and Barbara's figure is luminescent. Her body appears to glow when the print isn't in direct light. The importance of the image, along with the numerous institutions that hold prints of it, need not be elucidated here. It is the cover of Wynn's most important publication, "The Enchanted Landscape".
