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 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.

He goes on in the interview to state that he did commissioned portraits of King George V of England, President Warren Harding...
