Alice Neel was born in Philadelphia in 1900 and was trained at the Philadelphia School of Design for Women. Neel's interest in social realism and the "unpopular" art of portrait painting was made separate her work from the artistic developments of the avant-garde. While her most productive years were characterized mainly by a lack of commercial and critical success, confirmed a retrospective organized by the Whitney Museum of American Art in 1974 the large, albeit late, recognition was her turn. After her death in 1984 grew critical interest in Neel's work, which would lead to a series of major exhibitions in Europe.
