Alice Neel (1900–1984) was an American painter celebrated for her psychologically charged portraits. A committed figurative artist throughout the ascendancy of Abstract Expressionism, Neel created an indelible chronicle of 20th century life through her depictions of lovers, children, pregnant women, strangers, and celebrated figures from the art world and beyond. Her work is distinguished by its expressive line, bold color, and radical honesty, laying bare the vulnerabilities and strengths of her sitters. Neel’s legacy has been powerfully reclaimed, and she is now recognized as one of the most significant American portraitists of her century.
