Don LaViere Turner

Don LaViere Turner was a painter, printmaker, sculptor, and poet. He studied art at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, receiving his BS in 1951, followed by an MS in 1953. In 1971, he returned to Wisconsin, continued his painting and printmaking practices, and taught at UW–Madison. “Lyric Dream,” a small etching depicting a nude woman embracing a nude figure with a human body and bird’s head, speaks to the artist’s experimentation with mythological fantasy.
