Produced on the occasion of the exhibition ?Alice Neel: There?s Still Another I See?, an exhibition focusing for the first time on pairings of Alice Neel?s paintings of the same sitter.00This exquisite book illuminates and expands upon the exhibition. Featuring additional works and an essay by Minna Moore Ede.00Minna Moore Ede?s essay draws connections between Neel?s art and that of Old Masters such as Goya, whom Neel greatly admired, underlining the art historical grounding of her radical vision and affirming her place in the pantheon.00With paintings ranging in date from the 1930s to the 1980s, the book charts physical transformations over time, changes of mood, temperature or temperament, in sitter and artist, along with developments in Neel?s art, which grew ever more penetrating.00It gives a sense of what compelled Neel to look at and paint people more than once, and by extension to know as much as possible about the people and the world around her.

Alice Neel (1900-1984) is a singular and crucial figure in modern American painting. Her acute portraits of the various communities of New York, and her incisive portrayals of racial segragation and discrimination against women and homosexuals, show a passionate commitment to tackling inequality and social injustice. Her uncompromising approach to the female nude has made her a feminist icon. Neel's vibrant, expressionistic paintings reveal a breathtaking depth of emotion in her subjects, and confirm her as one of the greatest portrait artists of the 20th century. Based on two broad themes - class struggle and the battle of the sexes - *Alice Neel: An Engaged Eye* expertly explores the political and social dimensions of the powerful paintings, and includes quotations and previously unpublished writing from the artist herself. From the first works in the 1920s to her final evocative self-portrait, made shortly before her death, this is the definitive work on Alice Neel. This publication accompanies a ground-breaking exhibition at the Centre Pompidou in Paris.
