Alice Neel — Night
Alice Neel

Night

A shadowy, intimate scene rendered in Alice Neel's characteristically raw and expressive style, with fluid washes of deep, moody color evoking the quiet tension of nocturnal hours. Neel's loose, gestural brushwork captures the psychological weight of nighttime, blending vulnerability and unease in a composition that feels both personal and universal.
