Shortly after the election of Pope Pius X, Gerrer participated in a competition of artists to paint the official portrait of the new pope.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://digital.library.okstate.edu/encyclopedia/entries/G/GE011.html )〕 When Pius saw the finished portrait by Gerrer, he selected it to be his portrait. Pius said that he choose it because the artist painted the him true to life and did not minimize his facial warts. Gerrer also painted portraits of two World War I Choctaw code talkers, Otis Leader and Joseph Oklahombi. The largest collection of his paintings are at the Mabee-Gerrer Museum of Art in Shawnee, Oklahoma. His work is also in the Vatican art collection, Rome, Snite Museum of Art in South Bend, Indiana, and Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art in Norman, Oklahoma. Gerrer was a co-founder and first president of the Association of Oklahoma Artists. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gregory Gerrer」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
