2021rif. 397392Acc Art Books October 2021. Oversized Hardcover . Very Good/No Jacket As Issued. - Accompanying a major exhibition at the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris- Exploring the life and work of renowned feminist artist Alice Neel 1900-1984- Essays and an extensive anthology provide an academic insight into Neel's work'I have always believed that women should resent and refuse to accept all the gratuitous insults that men impose upon them.' - Alice Neel 1971 One of the greatest portrait artists of the 20th century Alice Neel's vibrant expressionistic paintings revealed a breath-taking depth of emotion within her subjects. From works exploring loss and grief to communist political art Neel's work pushed boundaries of social justice throughout the 1900s. Her dedication to capturing the truth of humanity is evident: she painted those rejected by society the victims of social or gendered oppression. Latin American and Puerto Rican immigrants African-American writers excluded from the intellectual elite single mothers struggling to raise their children homosexual couples - all were presented with equal candidness by Neel's brush. Her unflinching approach to the female body took a ground-breaking step towards reclaiming the nude from the male gaze and the activism inherent to her art resonates with viewers to this day. This book highlights Neel's political and social commitment to her art as a figurative painter at odds with the artistic styles of the avant-gardes of her time. Structured in two thematic parts - social injustice and gender inequality - this retrospective includes some 60 paintings and drawings as well as numerous documents. Following the artist from her first works in the 1920s to her final evocative self-portrait made shortly before her death this is the defining treatise on Alice Neel. Acc Art Books hardcover
