Black Draftee (James Hunter)

アリス・ニール(1900 – 1984)

アリス・ニール (1900-1984):アメリカを代表する肖像画家が放つ、剥き出しの誠実さと感情の深淵に触れてください。力強く表現豊かな彼女の絵画の世界を探索しましょう!

Neel’s portraits reflect the different communities of Manhattan, where she lived and worked, as well as her strong left-wing social consciousness. In 1965, the year Lyndon B. Johnson decided on a radical increase of ground forces in South Vietnam, Neel met James Hunter by chance and asked him to sit for a portrait. The young man had just been drafted for the Vietnam War and was scheduled to leave within a week. Following her usual practice, Neel started to outline the body directly on the canvas and then filled in parts of the head and hands. When Hunter did not return for their second sitting, Neel declared the work complete in its unfinished state by signing it on the back. The portrait was first shown at the retrospective of the artist’s work held at the Whitney Museum of American Art in 1974.
