Attributed to Alice Neel, no coa, private collection, medium: oil, measurements: 16"WX20"H no frame, good condition Biography: Alice Neel was an American visual artist. Recognized for her paintings of friends, family, lovers, poets, artists, and strangers, Neel is considered one of the greatest American portraitists of the 20th century. Her career spanned from the 1920s to 1980s. In 1924, Neel met Carlos EnrÃquez, an upper-class Cuban painter, at the Chester Springs summer school run by PAFA The couple married on June 1, 1925, in Colwyn, Pennsylvania.Neel soon moved to Havana to live with EnrÃquez's family. In Havana, Neel was embraced by the burgeoning Cuban avant-garde, a set of young writers, artists and musicians. In this environment Neel developed the foundations of her lifelong political consciousness and commitment to equality. Neel later said she had her first solo exhibition in Havana, but there are no dates or locations to confirm this. In March 1927, Neel exhibited with her husband in the 12th Salon des Bellas Artes. This exhibition also included Eduardo Abela, VÃctor Manuel GarcÃa Valdés, Marcelo Pogolotti, and Amelia Peláez who were all part of the Cuban Vanguardia Movement. During this time, she had seven servants and lived in a mansion.
