Green Man
Joseph A. Praissman (Architect), 1967
* face, plants
* Some time between 1967 and 1987 this piece was painted white, and some time between 1999 and 2021 most of the white paint was removed. The first two pictures are from December, 2021. The third picture is with the white paint. I do not know whether the teeth and the whites of the eyes were originally white or not. Whether it meets the technical definition of a Green Man is left as an exercise for the reader.
