Book Description
 
Positioning Alice Neel as a champion of civil rights, this book explores how her paintings convey
her humanist politics and capture the humanity, strength, and vulnerability of her subjects  “One of
the most ambitious and thorough collections of Neel’s work to date.”—Allison Schaller, Vanity Fair
  “For me, people come first,” Alice Neel (1900–1984) declared in 1950. “I have tried to assert the
dignity and eternal importance of the human being.” This ambitious publication surveys Neel’s
nearly 70-year career through the lens of her radical humanism. Remarkable portraits of victims of
the Great Depression, fellow residents of Spanish Harlem, leaders of political organizations, queer
artists, visibly pregnant women, and members of New York’s global diaspora reveal that Neel
viewed humanism as both a political and philosophical ideal. In addition to these paintings of
famous and unknown sitters, the more than 100 works highlighted include Neel’s emotionally
charged cityscapes and still lifes as well as the artist’s erotic pastels and watercolors. Essays
tackle Neel’s portrayal of LGBTQ subjects; her unique aesthetic language, which merged
abstraction and figuration; and her commitment to progressive politics, civil rights, feminism, and
racial diversity. The authors also explore Neel’s highly personal preoccupations with death, illness,
and motherhood while reasserting her place in the broader cultural history of the 20th century.
