She graduated from the Philadelphia School of Design for Women in 1925.  She married Cuban painter, Carlos Enriquez and lived in Havana and New York City.  She died in New York City in 1984.
She painted her family, friends, socialites and her neighbors in Spanish Harlem. She was influenced by the artist Vincent Van Gogh. "Her paintings have an expressionistic use of line and color, psychological acumen, and emotional intensity". www.tate.org.uk/art/artists/alice-neel3047]]> 2017-08-30 17:34:12 UTC https://padlet.com/marijane60/8gotz2s2yk7e/wish/183755787 marijane60 https://padlet.com/marijane60/8gotz2s2yk7e/wish/183759690 The subject of this painting is one of Neel's neighbors. This painting is expressive, and uses dull reds, yellow, blue and violet as well as black, gray and white. The mood of the work is calm, and the subject looks away from the viewer. The figure is fairly realistcally painted, but has elongated fingers, which Neel often does in her paintings. The color in the background has a flattening effect, and focusses your attention on the woman and the mood in the painting. ]]> 2017-08-30 17:44:56 UTC https://padlet.com/marijane60/8gotz2s2yk7e/wish/183759690
