ALICE NEEL - ELEANOR NAIRNE GEBUNDEN

Dynamic and forward thinking this unconventional retrospective monograph takes its cues from
Alice Neel's life and work- at once intimate  powerful  and bursting with color. Alice Neel was
one of the great American painters of the twentieth century and a pioneer among women artists.
A painter of people  landscape and still life  Neel was never fashionable or in step with
avant-garde movements. One of the reasons I painted was to catch life as it goes by  she
explained  right hot off the griddle. This beautifully designed volume takes a unique approach
to the exhibition catalog  highlighting Neel's understanding of the fundamentally political
nature of how we look at others  and what it means to feel seen. Long a favorite of portrait
lovers  Neel has recently gained an even wider 21st-century audience appreciative of the
searing candor with which she viewed the world  the depth of her humanity  and her championing
of the underdog. This beautifully produced catalog features a thoroughly modern design  as well
as an essay by renowned critic Hilton Als and poetry by Daisy Lafarge.
