Ginny
Alice Neel American
Not on view
One of Neel’s last and most abstract paintings, Ginny depicts her daughter-in-law in the aftermath of her mother’s passing. Ginny, herself a ghostly figure, is set within a mournful winter landscape that is more suggestion than depiction. Overall, the work evokes the agony of loss and the specter of mortality.
