    "Mythic adventures, involving armed heroes and divinely sanctioned wanderers, 5 take place on the oceans and mountains, in the gorges and firmaments, of Green’s extravaganzas. But the people themselves are gone, just as, after we make the planet uninhabitable for our species, this earth itself will be empty of human conversation."

    "Green conquers abstraction by ignoring it and producing specific shapes that drift from the moorings of recognizable natural entities—the “cloud” and “mountain” that define a cosmology oriented toward the human. Green thus liberates “mountain” and “cloud” from their imprisonment within a Romantic vision governed by soulfulness and by a fear that interiority (the bounty of the imagination) will be evacuated by a sudden vanishing of inspiration."

    "Green’s paintings, at their most epic, may contain aspects of cliff-hanging inconclusiveness, but the overall effect is that of a masterful, and hence invulnerable, finesse. The absence of figures, too, consolidates the aura of invulnerability."
