The Guardian‘She created a space where people could reveal themselves’: the unique portraits of Alice NeelBy Skye Sherwin

As the #Barbican prepares for its major #AliceNeel retrospective, here's a great story about the #artist.

When curator John Perreault wanted to include her work in a show he was preparing of #nudes, she painted him naked as her contribution to the show...

a great #feminist moment; taking the male gaze & turning it on itself, while also denying a privileging of the naked female subject (as aesthetic choice)...

so looking forward to this exhibition!

Alice Neel - an American artist, known for her portraits of friends, family, lovers, poets, artists & strangers.
“Whether I'm painting or not, I have this overweening interest in humanity. Even if I'm not working, I'm still analyzing people.”

Née en 1900 en Pennsylvanie, #AliceNeel va peindre dans les #annees30 des grévistes, des émeutiers, des noirs, des latinos, des féministes, des leaders syndicalistes et communistes, des hommes nus au sexe exposé, des homosexuel·les affiché·es et des artistes puisque le portrait sera une de ses manières de prédilection.
