Alice Neel's women
mirror of identity
by Carolyn Kinder Carr
"Alice Neel: Women is the first volume to collect the artist's paintings of her female sitters, among her most penetrating and accomplished works. Author Carolyn Carr analyzes Neel's five-decade exploration of the female form and psyche, deftly setting the works in their art-historical context.
Examining the artist's life and oeuvre, Carr illustrates how Neel returned to the same themes throughout her career - the nude figure, a pregnant woman, mother and child - often coinciding with events in her personal life, but always bringing a new perspective to the type. Always honest - brutally at times - the portraits evoke the sitters in all their vulnerability, as Neel effortlessly captured their personalities on the canvas."--BOOK JACKET.
