“Alice Neel is a legend of modern American painting. Her tireless documentation of friends, family, colleagues and surroundings provides a collective portrait of the evolving New York art world from the late-'30s through the early-'80s. The emotional power of her revolutionary and still-influential creative style won her legions of fans by the end of her lengthy career. This major survey of her work in portraiture at the Whitechapel Gallery introduces a new generation of audiences to the appeal of her expressive, psychologically fraught, quasi-abstract vision — commemorating the introduction of a hybrid kind of portraiture that moves beyond likeness and into essence.”
