评论： After study in Paris, Greenwood returned to New York in 1930 and began producing sketches of theatre people for the New York Times. The following year she traveled to the southwest in order to paint the Navajo Indians and from there crossed over into Mexico. At the urging of expatriate Pablo O'Higgins, whom she met at Taxco, she tried mural painting, producing a mural of native life for the Hotel Tazqueno. This effort brought her several commissions, including the first (mural) commission received by a woman from a foreign government ó for which she painted a seven-hundred-square foot fresco of Indian life at the Univ. of San Hidalgo. Highly praised for this work, she and her sister Grace Greenwood soon after worked for Diego Rivera on a group mural at the Mercado Rodriguez in Mexico City. On returning to the U.S. in 1936, she received a number of mural commissions, including several as a WPA artist. In 1944 Greenwood became one of only two women (with Anne Poor) appointed as artist war-correspondents and produced a series of paintings for the Army Medical Corps. After the war she focused more on easel painting and lithography, producing figural works that brought her critical attention and numerous solo shows. She continued to travel and paint, spending 1946-47 in Southern China with her (then) husband writer Charles Fenn and later painting in the West Indies, North Africa, and India. She was also for many years an active member of the Woodstock Art Colony (with husband Robert Plate). Positions: visiting professor FA, Univ. Tennessee, 1954-55; artist-in-res., Univ. Syracuse, NY, 1965 (during both of these endeavors she produced murals).
