I would be interested to know what Mr. Greene's standing in the field was in the early seventies.

I found the following on the D. G. web site:
Quote:
Daniel E. Greene, N.A. is a former instructor of painting at the National Academy of Design and the Art Students League of New York. He is the author of "Pastel" that was in print for 25 years and "The Art of Pastel," which were published in English, French, German, Spanish, Italian and Chinese. In 1969, Mr. Greene was elected to the National Academy of Design.
The Encyclopedia Britannica considers Mr. Greene the foremost pastelist in the United States and in 1983, the Pastel Society of America elected him to the Pastel Hall of Fame.

Henry,
I lived in Manhattan for six weeks when I worked at Merrill Lynch. I took the subway from mid-town to Wall St. and back every day. It was so crowded I don't think there was physically enough room to committ a decent crime. I'm sure I would not have been bold enough to sub it in the wee hours through the Bronx.
Here's two more compositions. One quite different, the other no risk at all ... is just gooood.
