Daniel Greene: A Retrospective

Organized by The Butler Institute of American Art, this retrospective showcases the realist art of Daniel Greene. It includes a range of work from paintings created in the 1970s to recent pieces. 

Greene’s art demonstrates both skill and imagination, and carries on the great American tradition of narrative painting. This exhibition features 30 works that trace the evolution of his style over the course of his six-decade career. Daniel Greene's book Studios and Subways: An American Master His Life and Art will be available for purchase during this time and in the Museum's shop for the remainder of the exhibition.
