Positionnant Alice Neel comme une championne des droits civiques, ce livre explore comment ses peintures traduisent sa politique humaniste et capturent l'humanité, la force et la vulnérabilité de ses sujets. «Pour moi, les gens passent avant tout», déclarait Alice Neel (1900-1984) en 1950. «J'ai essayé d'affirmer la dignité et l'importance éternelle de l'être humain.» Cette publication ambitieuse examine la carrière de près de 70 ans de Neel à travers le prisme de son humanisme radical. Des portraits remarquables de victimes de la Grande Dépression, d’habitants du Harlem espagnol, de dirigeants d’organisations politiques, d’artistes queer, de femmes visiblement enceintes et de membres de la diaspora mondiale de New York révèlent que Neel considérait l’humanisme comme un idéal à la fois politique et philosophique. En plus de ces peintures de personnages célèbres et inconnus, les plus de 100 œuvres mises en évidence comprennent des paysages urbains et des natures mortes chargés d'émotion de Neel ainsi que des pastels et aquarelles érotiques de l'artiste. Des essais abordent la représentation de Neel des sujets LGBTQ; son langage esthétique unique, qui a fusionné l'abstraction et la figuration; et son engagement envers la politique progressiste, les droits civils, le féminisme et la diversité raciale. Les auteurs explorent également les préoccupations très personnelles de Neel concernant la mort, la maladie et la maternité tout en réaffirmant sa place dans l’histoire culturelle plus large du XXe siècle. Kelly Baum est Cynthia Hazen Polsky et Leon Polsky conservateur d'art contemporain, et Randall Griffey est conservateur d'art moderne et contemporain, tous deux au Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. Alice Neels (19001984) uncompromising artistic vision and deep engagement with humanity in both art and politics have earned her legions of admirers. This beautifully designed and illustrated book surveys the artists nearly 70-year career, focusing on her long residency in New York, a place that provided her with lifelong inspiration. In addition to her compelling portraits of individuals of all ages, both famous and unknown, Alice Neel: People Come First also explores her remarkable nudes, still lifes, cityscapes, and erotic pastels and watercolorsall considered through the lens of radical humanism that informed so much of the artists work. Leading scholars delve into various aspects of Neels practice, revealing that humanism was both a political and philosophical ideal for the artist. The authors address Neels paintings of LGBTQ subjects; her unique aesthetic language, which merged elements of abstraction and figuration; and her commitment to progressive politics, civil rights, feminism, and racial diversity. The books essays also explore Neels highly personal preoccupations with death, illness, and motherhood while reasserting her place in the broader cultural history of the 20th century. Positioning Alice Neel as a champion of civil rights, this book explores how her paintings convey her humanist politics and capture the humanity, strength, and vulnerability of her subjects Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Hardback. Etat : New. Positioning Alice Neel as a champion of civil rights, this book explores how her paintings convey her humanist politics and capture the humanity, strength, and vulnerability of her subjects "One of the most ambitious and thorough collections of Neel's work to date."-Allison Schaller, Vanity Fair "For me, people come first," Alice Neel (1900-1984) declared in 1950. "I have tried to assert the dignity and eternal importance of the human being." This ambitious publication surveys Neel's nearly 70-year career through the lens of her radical humanism. Remarkable portraits of victims of the Great Depression, fellow residents of Spanish Harlem, leaders of political organizations, queer artists, visibly pregnant women, and members of New York's global diaspora reveal that Neel viewed humanism as both a political and philosophical ideal. In addition to these paintings of famous and unknown sitters, the more than 100 works highlighted include Neel's emotionally charged cityscapes and still lifes as well as the artist's erotic pastels and watercolors. Essays tackle Neel's portrayal of LGBTQ subjects; her unique aesthetic language, which merged abstraction and figuration; and her commitment to progressive politics, civil rights, feminism, and racial diversity. The authors also explore Neel's highly personal preoccupations with death, illness, and motherhood while reasserting her place in the broader cultural history of the 20th century.Published by The Metropolitan Museum of Art/Distributed by Yale University PressExhibition Schedule:The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (March 22-August 1, 2021) Guggenheim, Bilbao (September 17, 2021-January 30, 2022) de Young Museum, San Francisco (March 12-July 10, 2022).
