More than one of Banks works is in the collection of The Leslie-Lohman Gay Art Foundation collection {New York City} and in his biography is described as: "Born in Palm Beach, Florida, Banks had a very successful career as a window designer and illustrator but eventually turned to portraiture in works that eventually included the entire New York City Ballet and Rose Kennedy. He also painted impressive male nudes ." Contemporary metal frame with green mat. Note the reflection of the glass. The above image shows the true color of the art work.
