Alice Neel (2007)

The life and work of Alice Neel (1900-1984), American portrait painter. Part of the narration is chronological, part consists of interviews with friends, other artists, scholars, and family members, particularly two sons, Richard and Hartley, who are none too sanguine about their childhood and their mother's Bohemian life, and the filmmaker himself, a grandson whose querulous voice is heard from time to time. The film also includes footage of Neel, later in life, painting, talking, appearing on television, and giving lectures. Throughout, we see her paintings, bold, frank, and direct. After years of poverty and obscurity, fame comes as she nears 70.

This film is a rich portrait of Alice Neal done much in the manner of her own brilliant art. In its richness It revealed many of the rough spots of her life and gave us a portrait of her world, With the inclusion of the family members the film takes on a very moving presence. The film is riveting from beginning to end. The full screen images of her paintings are a spectacular experience and makes me want to see them at the same scale and luminosity in a museum or gallery. The film shows her perserverence against forces out of her control , both as a woman and as an artist working in her manner, In the face of this, to witness her eventual recognition is very moving. It is finally a wonderful record for all time of Alice Neel and her very special family.

There's much pungent detail on offer here, chronicling Neel's unorthodox lifestyle in Cuba and Spanish Harlem, and the struggles she had in an era when abstract painting was triumphant; all of which is given a little more edge than you might expect.

It achieves the documentary format’s basic goal of illuminating history while also demonstrating, through filmmaking choices, how an artist’s style reveals his or her personality.

This documentary by the artist's grandson Andrew Neel, delves into the life and imagination of Alice Neel, the defiant pioneering, cutting edge, raunchy and prolific late artist.

If the artist is an elusive target, the art is as sharp as a razor blade. The portraits are extraordinary.
