Alice Neel, Dominican Boys on 108th Street, 1955 

Neel encouraged her sitters to ‘assume their most characteristic pose, which in a way involves all their character and social standing – what the world has done to them and their retaliation’. But she was also keen to emphasise the formal qualities of her work: ‘You see, I’m not just a simple figure painter. The abstract elements and the geometric layout of the canvas are very important to me.’ Her art is most radical for its non-dogmatic, non-prescriptive character. Despite the evidence of what the world ‘has done’ to her sitters, her portraits are never mawkish. London Review of Books https://www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v45/n19/emily-labarge/at-the-munch-museum?utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=20230930icymiUS&utm_content=20230930icymiUS+CID_ce7884eebb5d3e8279bd1b8171e6f54d&utm_source=LRB%20email&utm_term=Read%20more

PEOPLE WHO NEED PEOPLE

More than any other art blockbuster I’ve attended, visitors at the Alice Neel show at The Met seemed to be involved with the paintings, not just reading the labels and passing through.

The exhibit arrives at the right moment, as New York City's institutions reopen post pandemic. And it’s topical. Neel’s most famous works, her painted portraits of family, art world friends, and Harlem neighbors from the 1960′s and 70′s, offer an alternate to canonical master painting, and the muscular Abstract Expressionism of her peers. She’s an artist training her eye on folks who are mostly marginalized, or entirely unseen, by art world culture.

The show is organized chronologically. The first gallery shows small portraits and street views, the second scenes of motherhood and family, and the last -- the most satisfying -- large-scale portraits of romantic couples. These last paintings have formal and emotional power. They remind me of David Hockney’s majestic portraits of LA habitues from the 1970′s. Neel’s canvases are nearly full-scaled, in bright palettes, with graphic energy that pleases the eye and a kind of brazen soulful observance. These are real people, captured clearly, in all their idiosyncrasies. The men and women are alive to the other’s presence, to the artist’s presence, and to being seen. The pictures draw one and hold one. They are mesmerizing and familiar.

The biggest crowd of visitors was gathered around Jackie Curtis and Ritta Redd (1970), that shows two men, one of them dressed as a woman. What is it that captivates? The men are touching but not embracing. They’re alert but not posing. They’re looking outwards but remain proudly self-possessed.

After a year and a half of isolation, of moving through days of work, school and home without the noise, annoyance and drama of other people, we find it here in full splendor. We see Jackie’s blue eye shadow and ripped stocking, and Ritta’s boyish striped jumper and delicate hands. We see who these people are, and we like them. That intimacy is not typically a concern of fine art.

RIp Nathaniel Taylor who played Rollo on Sanford and Son age 80

one of the most important crew members on Sanford and Son

passed away

and he was 80 years old. he truly had great chemistry on Sanford and Son

and left a lasting impact. the chemistry between him and Redd Foxx

was the truth. the comedy timing

and the street cool

and feel was the business. and the Brother was truly underrated.

i loved to hear Aunt Esther Lawanda Page tell him aren’t you Ritta…
