Alice Neel has been acclaimed as one of the most profound portrait painters
of the modern era. This fascinating documentary chronicles Neel's career from
an early marriage to a Cuban painter, through the Depression and her work with
the WPA, to her long residence in Spanish Harlem. "It concisely conveys
the spunky personality and distinct style of this 'psychological
painter'." – Booklist.
Alice Neel is part of a trilogy on women artists called They Are Their Own
Gifts. Also profiled are Muriel Rukeyser (poet) and Anna Sokolow
(choreographer).
A Women Make Movies film. 19 minutes.
