Alice Neel (January 28, 1900 – October 13, 1984) was an American visual artist known for her portraits depicting friends, family, lovers, poets, artists, and strangers. Her career spanned from the 1920s to the 1980s. Her paintings have an expressionistic use of line and color, psychological acumen, and emotional intensity. She pursued a career as a figurative painter during a period when abstraction was favored, and she did not begin to gain critical praise for her work until the 1960s.
