The artist

Alice Neel

La Vita Iniziaria e l'Educazione

Nata: 28 gennaio 1900, a Merion Square, Pennsylvania
Genitori: George Washington Neel (contabile) e Alice Concross Hartley Neel
La famiglia si trasferì a Colwyn, Pennsylvania nei primi anni del '900.
Quarta di cinque figli; sperimentò la perdita del suo fratello maggiore, Hartley, in giovane età.
Cresciuta in una famiglia della classe media con aspettative limitate per le donne.
Si diplomò al liceo e assunse un impiego d'ufficio per sostenere la sua famiglia.
Studiò corsi d'arte a Philadelphia di notte.
Si iscrisse al programma di belle arti della Philadelphia School of Design for Women (ora Moore College of Art & Design) nel 1921.
Rifiutò l'Impressionismo, abbracciando la Scuola Ashcan del realismo, influenzata da Robert Henri.
Vinse un plauso onorifico due volte per pittura e ricevette il premio Kern Dodge nel 1925.
Si diplomò alla Philadelphia School of Design for Women nel 1925.

Matrimonio, L'Avana e la Prima Carriera

Sposò il pittore cubano Carlos Enríquez il 1° giugno 1925.
Si trasferì all'Avana, Cuba, dove fu accolta dal movimento d'avanguardia cubano.
Sviluppò la sua coscienza politica e l'impegno per l'uguaglianza all'Avana.
Espose con suo marito nel XII Salon des Bellas Artes nel 1927 insieme a importanti artisti cubani come Eduardo Abela e Marcelo Pogolotti.
Tenne la sua prima mostra personale all'Avana (data non confermata).
La figlia, Santillana, nacque nel 1926 ma tragicamente morì di difterite l'anno successivo.

Ritorno negli Stati Uniti e Difficoltà Personali

Tornò negli Stati Uniti con sua seconda figlia, Isabella Lillian (Isabetta), nel 1927.
Carlos Enríquez partì per Cuba, portando Isabetta con sé.
Subì un esaurimento nervoso e tentò il suicidio a seguito di queste perdite.
Fu ricoverata e collocata nel reparto suicidi dell'Ospedale Generale di Philadelphia.
Tornò a casa dei suoi genitori dopo essere stata ritenuta stabile nel 1931.
Successive relazioni furono tumultuose, con il risultato di altri due figli.

Stile Artistico e Temi Principali

Stile: Uso espressionistico della linea e del colore; acume psicologico; intensità emotiva.
Soggetto: Principalmente ritratti di amici, familiari, amanti, poeti, artisti e sconosciuti.
Temi: Maternità, perdita, ansia, la condizione umana, commento sociale.
Opere notevoli includono "Well Baby Clinic", una rappresentazione cupa di madri e bambini in una clinica maternità.
I suoi ritratti spesso sfidavano le raffigurazioni tradizionali delle donne, impiegando uno sguardo femminile per illustrare la loro consapevolezza dell'oggettivazione.

Riconoscimento ed Eredità

Inizialmente trascurata durante l'ascesa dell'Espressionismo Astratto.
Ottenne un significativo riconoscimento critico negli anni '70.
Ricevette un premio del National Women’s Caucus for Art dal Presidente Jimmy Carter nel 1979.
Definita "una delle più grandi artiste ritrattistiche del XX secolo" da Barry Walker, curatore presso il Museum of Fine Arts di Houston.
Una retrospettiva del suo lavoro fu organizzata dal Museum of Fine Arts di Houston nel 2010.
Il suo lavoro continua a essere celebrato per la sua onestà, profondità psicologica e potenti rappresentazioni dell'esperienza umana.
Morto: 13 ottobre 1984.
