Alice Neel's work is quite wonderful. I saw an exhibition in Helsinki a few years ago. She seems to be a forerunner of David Hockney and Lucien Freud. The sizes of her works really helped increase their drama - where individual character really became bold and the centre of each work. Need really invested herself in others, a real fan of human beings. Thanks for posing this video - very insightful and Don's eagerness to probe her mind was great to see. A great interview!
Where has this interview been hiding ? The WPA - easel department she had to produce a painting a month and it went on for 7 years. Contrast with worse situation of artists today. The interviewer is good.
She’s so adorable, rattling on with those anecdotes. Could listen to it for hours
Such a sharp, incisive, clear-eyed view of things. She paints with a knife edge into the soul and the hurt our inhuman system can inflict on us.

The Greasiest Portrait Painter of the 20th Century, Thank you for posting
Agree 100 percent!
I love Alice but Freud goes one grade deeper psychologically.
@@jacobusbaker9285 Don't get bamboozled by the ochre coloration and the exaggerated textures.
What does that mean, greasiest?
Her voice is similar to Shelley Winters' voice even her phrasing and how she cuts the interviewer off.
I love it. In what year was this recorded??
Yes, does anyone know what year this was recorded?
