terrific Barbara --I actually met her one quiet morning (51st/First ave, NYC) she was returning from a friends "thrift shop" on First Ave to her apt overlooking the East River. I said hello and that I understood she wanted privacy -- she actually smiled, said thank you and continued on. This was 1972, and yes, she was beautiful.
Barbara Chase replied:
I have thought a great deal about what it must have been like trying to maintain her comfort zone in the afterglow of all that fame. I love that she smiled and spoke in response to your thoughtful appreciation. It must have made her feel good to be acknowledged in such a gracious way. 😌

Oh my word! you've captured her spot on ... what a beauty ;))
Barbara Chase replied:
That warms my heart, Connie, because I worked for many days in this piece. There is in fact a large 48"x48" canvas of her seated in an Art Deco setting. This is a very small section of the original painting.

Barbara -- revisiting; this is outstanding! When I lived on the Upper Eastside of Manhattan. I'd frequently see Greta, early in the morning, hat pulled down, long coat, walking from 52st. and First Ave to a thrift shop on the corner (one of her few friends volunteered there). I knew it was her because the first time I saw her a doorman said to me "hey, guess who that is."? Great memory. L/F
Barbara Chase replied:
Thank you, Bill! I would love to have caught even a glimpse of her. Your story of that moment in time is very intruguing. I feel a bit sad for her but at the same time I know it was her proclivity to be alone. So very interesting!

Barbara -- this, and your gallery, shows your immense talent --your art is as good as it gets!!! L/F
Barbara Chase replied:
I am grateful to you, Bill, for sharing such generous and kind feedback. We artists tend to nudge a big part of our hearts out there onto the canvas, and as a result can feel a slight bit vulnerable. Your words are a wonderful catalyst! TY!
