Neel combines Expressionism and Realism when depicting varieties of people, people from different class, gender, careers, actually the two art style conflicts with each other. How could artist depict the outward forms in step with reality while distort the figures showing the subjective emotion?
Hearing her speak fills me with so many emotions. Her saying to never give up no matter how hard things get really lifted my spirit.
She's beastly, outspoken, and absolutely before her time. 😄
4-22-16, just saw a repeat of a Johnny Carson show, and this lady was on it. she is an interesting character, intelligent, down to earth, and funny.
I met Alice Neel in Spanish Harlem in her Apartment
Excellent woman, painter, artist;
Exceptional painter.
Love her paintings!
Smug interviewer ...... Alice Neel keeps winning over the audience .... The interviewer not so much ....
Is Alice flipping the interviewer off at 22:08? Followed by her comment "you'd realize everything is not the beautiful people."

Wow! She out-interrupted Diamonstein!
I looked at her art. It is pretty good, but kind of cartoony and with zombie like eyes.
