Artist Jane Rubin and Champion, Oil on Canvas, Copyright Jane Rubin 1996
Jane Rubin is a straight, female pianist — not a macho drummer.

In the past, I rarely talked or wrote about my art. I let it speak for itself. Also, I am not a writer. However, crude defamation and criminal abuses of me require me to take control of the narrative and stop the false stories, stop the "haters" Sunlight, and the facts, are the best disinfectant.

My large-scale painting installation was still in progress on May 19th, 1990. The centerpiece, a symbolic self-portrait, and the gray-scale painting, are unfinished. I choreographed and painted these from September to May, 1989-90, on my own, no studio assistants. It would take several more months to refine and finish these paintings.

Anyone who has tried to defame my painting talent and skill due to the somewhat rough look of this ground-breaking — but unfinished — installation — would lose a defamation case.
