Irene Peslikis is often remembered simply as the subject of Alice Neel's portrait 'Marxist Girl', but as Chris Hayes writes she was also an inspiring artist and activist who played a pivotal role in feminist organising in New York.

Alice Neel portrayed cats, dogs, and even a parrot with her characteristic familiarity and attention to individuality.

#aliceneel I found this undated (1985?) book of Alice Neel’s drawings and watercolors at a Gloucester, Mass. , antique store ($15). Couldn’t resist. The last one below is “Alice by Alice. “

As the #Barbican prepares for its major #AliceNeel retrospective, here's a great story about the #artist.

When curator John Perreault wanted to include her work in a show he was preparing of #nudes, she painted him naked as her contribution to the show...

a great #feminist moment; taking the male gaze & turning it on itself, while also denying a privileging of the naked female subject (as aesthetic choice)...

so looking forward to this exhibition!
