Summary:

Alice Neel (1900-1984) is widely considered one of the greatest
portraitists of the twentieth century. Published on the occasion of a
solo exhibition at David Zwirner, New York, this beautifully designed
book presents a selection of portraits and still lifes from the last
two decades of the artist's life. Called "the pre-eminent
painter-chronicler of New York bohemia" by Deborah Solomon of The New
York Times, Neel remains a hero to many of today's most influential
figurative painters, including Eric Fischl, Elizabeth Peyton and
Marlene Dumas--as much for the emotional and psychological intensity
of her work as for her exemplary fearlessness.
