For an artist to be born in 1900 in the U.S. was almost a that the great Depression would strike even the most promising career amids, and that the support of the Work Project Administration (WPA), however imperfect, would constitute a lifeline.
What makes Alice Neel's career so remarkable is her early recognition of her aptitude for catching character and setting in down on canvas and her persistence with portraiture far beyond the WPA years into her maturity, when the Abstract Expressionists appeared to have derailed figuration as a serious mode in which to make art.
During the 1960s and 1970s Alice Neel remained very much herself as various forms of 'a to the figure,' including superrealism, photorealism, and a rebirth of interest in academic drawing and painting from nature, came into being.
