George T. Green was a contemporary artist based in Texas, known for his sculptural work and his role in shaping the “Texas Funk” art movement. He earned his Master of Fine Arts from the University of Dallas, where he studied alongside fellow artists Jim Roche, Jack Mims, and Robert Wade. Together, the four artists later formed the influential Oak Cliff Four, a collaborative group active from 1969 to 1974 in the Oak Cliff neighborhood of Dallas.

In the early 1970s, Green began working with unconventional materials, most notably linoleum tile, to construct sculptural works that nodded to Marcel Duchamp and the Dada tradition. These works—ranging from urinals to pastel-tiled fountains—challenged the boundaries between fine art and everyday materials, infusing humor and commentary into formal experimentation.

His work was represented during this period by the Delahunty Gallery, a prominent venue in the Dallas art scene. Green has also participated in residencies and held positions within art institutions, including at CentralTrak and the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth. His legacy is closely tied to the rebellious, experimental spirit of the Oak Cliff Four and their lasting influence on regional and national art narratives.
