Full body stylised portrait of Nina in ink using line and wash technique. The details of the fabrics of her clothes and the positioning of the legs and feet have been emphasised. She has curly hair and is seated on a chair with one foot on the seat, holding onto the back with her hands. She is wearing a short cardigan and fairly baggy jeans.
Stylised portrait of Rio. His head is exaggerated and the bicep of the arm leaning on the chair. Also his lower legs have been pushed apart to emphasise the puppet like nature of the feet. He is looking straight at the viewer, his head in his hand, the elbow resting on his crossed legs. The other hand is grasping the chair. He is dressed in a vest, tracksuit trousers and trainers.

Pencil copy of a self portrait of Alice Neel when young. She has fine hair and is leaning on her hands, elbows on the table, facing the viewer looking down, and somewhat demure. The description of the features are distorted and made more curly to add to the mood of the sitter.
Charcoal copy of a portrait by Alice Neel of a little girl wearing a tee shirt. She has very dark curly hair which is parted in the middle and piled up on top. She looks a little anxiously at the viewer and the use of the line on the tee shirt is intended to convey a little nervousness.
Ink drawing of a youngish man with 1980s hairstyle seated with chin resting on one hand, the elbow of which is supported by the other, leaning on his knee. The perspective is distorted, with his head made disproportionally large

Rocznica urodzin Alice Neel, artystki która wierzyła, że malarstwo może mówić prawdę: o ludziach, ciele i emocjach. Nawet w czasach zdominowanych przez abstrakcję, trzymała się realizmu – i dobrze!

Pastel and acrylic painting shows happy old woman with blue eyes and gray hear wearing a green blanket around her shoulders. The background looks like wood.
Portrait of Alice Neel. Neel is one of my favorite painters. She worked in NYC in the second half of the 20th century. I got a book of her paintings for Christmas.
These portraits look better to me now than when I painted them. Go figure. #art #artsky #painting #painter #traditionalart #aliceneel

A young woman with upright but relaxed posture as one hand settles near her shoulder and a small gold ring catches a pinpoint of light. American artist Alice Neel paints her medium-olive complexion with visible, confident strokes while a strong vertical shadow slices the face so one side is sunlit and the other falls into a cooler dusk, emphasizing bone structure and the bridge of her nose. She looks straight out with pale blue eyes under sharply arched dark brows, her gaze steady, assessing, and unflinching. Her auburn-brown hair is swept up in loose rolls, with a few darker tendrils gathered at the side. A flush of pink warms one cheek. Her lips are defined in a muted coral-red. She wears a voluminous white blouse gathered at the neckline into soft pleats. Thick whites and gray-blue shadows convey the fabric’s weight, turning the blouse into a bright field that frames the face and hand. Behind her, the space is simplified into broad horizontal bands of mustard yellow above, a deep black stripe at mid-height, and pale gray and brown planes to the side with faint linear marks suggesting boards. The flattened setting pushes her forward, making her presence feel immediate and unavoidable. Painted in 1936 while Neel was employed by the Works Progress Administration, “Elenka” shows how she could fuse Depression-era directness with psychological intimacy. The Met noted during the “Alice Neel: People Come First” exhibition that a film historian speculated the sitter might be the future experimental filmmaker Maya Deren (then 19, in Greenwich Village, sometimes known as Eleanora or “Elinka”). The Museum also stresses that research into Elenka’s identity is ongoing. Neel resisted the label “portraitist,” preferring “pictures of people,” and treated New York as her human stage to paint people from many different backgrounds with a sharp eye for power and dignity.
