One of the foremost American artists of the twentieth century, Alice Neel (1900–1984) is known for her daringly honest, humanist approach to the figure. Working from life and memory, she painted writers, poets, artists, activists, family, friends, and others around her with unfazed accuracy, honesty, and compassion. Calling herself a "collector of souls," Neel is acclaimed for not only capturing the truth of the individual, but also reflecting the era in which she lived.
