Lotan Lotan Surreal Painting Signed and Dated 1976, Apocalypse
By Lotan Lotan
Located in Phoenix, AZ
Surreal painting, oil on board by the late Arizona artist Lotan Lotan.
Signed lower left by the artist and dated 1976.
Painting measures: 30" H x 24" W. Unframed and in excellent condition.
Lotan Lotan (1905-1985)

Lotan evidently had no problem stretching the truth to help create his new persona. During his Arizona years he typically signed his paintings "Lotan Lotan, PHD, MD" even though he was neither a PHD or a Medical Doctor. Throughout his life he claimed to have received degrees in medicine and a PHD in art from the University of Berlin in 1926. In a 1966 interview with The Carefree Enterprise he recounts how he used to operate a medical clinic and a portrait studio side by side in London. "At the same time I was treating the social outcasts of the Soho district, I was also receiving portrait commissions from the royalty and political nobility of Europe and America." He goes on in the interview to state that he did commissioned portraits of King George V of England, President Warren Harding...
