June Leaf, a renowned artist known for her unique works exploring the human body and figuration, passed away at 94 in New York after battling gastric cancer. Her diverse creations included surreal monuments, mechanized sculptures, and evocative self-portraits, always focusing on the human figure despite trends toward abstraction. Critics, like Barry Schwabsky, praised her vision, comparing her to Giacometti and Picasso. Born in Chicago in 1929, her background as a dancer influenced her art. She studied under László Moholy-Nagy and moved to Paris in 1948. In 1965, she shifted to sculpture and later married photographer Robert Frank, relocating to Nova Scotia. Despite limited recognition, her legacy endures, highlighted by a 2016 Whitney Museum survey.
