This
exhibition highlights the innate diversity of Neel's approach. As Als notes,
Neel "was attracted to a world of difference and painted that. Still, her
work was not marred by ideological concerns; what fascinated her was the
breadth of humanity that she encountered in her studio, on canvas…Alice Neel,
Uptown, the first comprehensive look at Neel's portraits of people of color, is
an attempt to honor not only what Neel saw, but the generosity behind her
seeing."
