I acquired this painting as a graduation present from a local art enthusiast in 1990.     The painting is done in pastels.  It is 23 1/4" wide by 27 1/4" length.  I believe it was purchased in New York by Ruth Julian directly from the artist.  I call the painting Two Faces for obvious reasons.  The artist was trans-gender...and had issues with alcohol and drugs so I believe the picture represents some of the inner turmoil that she was feeling.  Most of the artists work was done in the form of life sized dolls so this painting is something of a rarity for her.  The artist passed away in 1996.   I have attached an article by Julia Morton in ArtNet Magazine describing Greer and her work.  Additionally, I have attached a website below to give you some indication of her work and there is a photo of the painting on there as well.  I have also attached another link to the Guilford College Art Gallery showing the permanent collections they have with one being donated by Ruth and Ira Julian.    http://www.artnet.com/magazineus/features/morton/morton1-26-07.asp   http://www.geocities.com/greerlankton/   http://www.guilford.edu/original/libraryart/artgallery/Collect/collect.html Place a Bid!
