Notes:

Lloyd Lozes Goff was born in Dallas, Texas, in 1917. Goff produced murals under the WPA throughout the Southern United States from the late 1930s-early 1940s, and was a close friend of many other gay WPA artists such as Jared French and Paul Cadmus. There are records of extensive correspondence from Goff to French and Cadmus, and many of the works of Cadmus now present in museums such as the Dallas Museum of Art were acquired through Goff. Closer to the end of his life, in the mid-late 70's, Goff produced homoerotic works under the pseudonym, "Jack Koff". While traditional western paintings by Goff are present at major institutions and collections, such as the Whitney Museum, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the Dallas Museum of Art, very few of his homoerotic works are known to exist in collections beyond the artist's estate.

Works are in a variety of conditions, some with significant tears.
