Alice Neel talks about her struggle with 50s society
Alice Neel talks about her internal struggle and her outlook on the homogenising of life in the 1950s.
The intensity of her outlook is captured in her portraits as the sitters stare directly at the painter and the viewer, contextualised by art historian Richard Brilliant and Robert Storr, the dean at Yale University School of Art.
