Exhibition organised in association with Jeremy Lewison LtdThe ten portraits in Men Only show a variety of attitudes, from the erotic to the ironic, in an exhibition that looks at Neel's particular relationship to her male subjects. Amongst the works included are Neel's third and final portrait of her friend the author Max White as well as two powerful portraits of her sons Hartley and Richard as young men. Born near Philadelphia in 1900, Alice Neel was the foremost American portraitist and one of the most engaging painters of her times. A catalogue accompanies the exhibition with text by the poet, fiction writer and art critic Sue Hubbard.
