HB, 220 x 150 mm, 160 p, 130 Kleurenillustraties EN edition. ISBN 9783791379661. Alice Neel was never one to bow to convention, neither in the way she lived her life nor in the manner in which she chose to paint. Born at the turn of the 20th Century, she grew up in a Pennsylvania town devoid of culture in a society riven with racism, homophobia and misogyny. Yet she escaped to study art and went on to create astonishingly innovative portraits of those generally ignored by society ? her Puerto Rican neighbours in Spanish Harlem, black intellectuals, communist activists, pregnant women and sex workers. "I am a collector of souls? I paint my time using the people as evidence," said Neel. 460 g.
