Madeline Green’s work was exhibited during her lifetime in at least 18 galleries, in England, Scotland and Ireland, as well as at the Venice Biennale, the Paris Salons (where she was twice awarded medals), and in Adelaide[4] and Melbourne.

The following year, a review in the Bedford local paper[7] of works in the town’s annual exhibition noted that Green’s “spirited drawings of horses are quite admirable”.

As early as 1915, for example, a critic remarked on “a small painting by Miss Madeline Green, ‘The Model’, which also makes its appeal by its delicate refinements and subtle quality.

The colouring is of greys, with a blue note in the skirt of the figure, and is most successful, and the picture stands out among its more ordinary surroundings by its inherent distinction.”[9] Madeline Green exhibited “The Balloon Girl” at the Royal Hibernian Academy, Dublin in 1916, at a time which coincided with the Easter Rising.

The original rather feminine figure with “striped green silk taffeta iridescent harem trousers” was turned into a cartoon “where the gentle gaze has turned shrewish, her stockings bagged around bony ankles and ungainly flat feet.”[13] Green took part in the inaugural exhibition of the Society of Graphic Art at the Suffolk Street Galleries in London, on 1–29 January 1921, showing five of her works;[14] in the three following years she exhibited ten more.

In December 1924 in Adelaide, at Mr F W Preece’s[15] bookshop and gallery on King William Street, three of Madeline Green’s works (“Remounts”, “On the Balcony” and “Covent Garden”) were displayed, along with those of other members of the Society of Graphic Art.

Green replied that the painting was intended to portray a newly married couple looking into the future, and that she had sat for the figure of the coster girl herself, using a looking glass to help compose the picture.

Sacha Llewellyn[18] notes that "Madeline Green's Self-portrait (The Chenille Net) occupies an important position In Dulwich Picture Gallery's collection.

"[19][20] In 1931, with the help of the Felton Bequest[21] the National Gallery of Victoria acquired “Glasgow”, which was displayed in their 2007 exhibition “Modern Britain, 1900–1960.” The catalogue[22] describes how Madeline and Gladys were the models for this "engaging and enigmatic painting [which] depicts a somewhat unconventional pairing of women, whose costume and demeanour raise questions about the representation of gender and sexuality during the modernist period.” An exhibition of Green’s pictures, “Moments in Time”,[23] was held in 2011 at the PM Gallery in Ealing, not far from 40 The Mall.
