Issues of Art Front are dated 1934-1938. Balcomb Greene served on the magazine's editorial board during 1935-1936 and contributed articles during that period. Modern Art by Katherine S. Dreier is Greene's well-used copy; his name is inscribed on the flyleaf, and affixed inside the front cover is a copy of a newspaper review.
Articles by Balcomb Greene were published in Art Front, College Art Journal and other periodicals. Some representative titles are: "The Function of Leger," "The Problem of Expression in Art," "Basic Concepts for Teaching Art," and "The Doctrine of Pure Aesthetic."
Exhibition catalogs and articles from newspapers and periodicals represent the majority of the printed material about or mentioning Balcomb and Gertrude Greene. Museum publications consist of annual reports, bulletins and newsletters.
Among the miscellaneous items pertaining to Balcomb and Gertrude Greene are a program for a house tour that included Greene's home, biographical notes about the University Center in Virginia's visiting fellows, a calendar and book of postcards reproducing art work.
