portrait subjects have been leaders of Government, Banking, Education, Industry, Royalty and the Arts, and include Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, Author Ayn Rand, Publisher William Randolph Hearst, Ambassador John Loeb Jr., Baroness Betsee Parker, Commentators Bryant Gumbel, Bob Schieffer and Composer Alan Menken. His works hang in more than 700 public and private collections throughout the world. Mr. Greene has taught at the Art Students League and The National Academy of Design in New York.

In 2017, a biography was published about Mr. Greene’s work titled “Daniel E. Greene, Studios and Subways, An American Master, His Life and Art.” He was the subject of Retrospective exhibitions at The Butler Institute of American Art in Youngstown, OH, the Mattatuck Museum in Waterbury, CT and the Museum of Art, DeLand, FL.

It is with great sadness that Allied Artists of America says goodbye to Daniel Greene but it is with admiration and respect that we recognize his contributions to the arts and celebrate his life and his immense achievements.
His devoted wife, artist Wende Caporale is in our thoughts and prayers.
