Linda Nochlin and Daisy (painting (visual work); Alice Neel (American, 1900-1984); 1973; Museum of Fine Arts (Boston, Suffolk county, Massachusetts, ...; 1983.496)

Note: The prolific New York City-based painter Alice Neel's portrait of the art historian Linda Nochlin and her daughter. Here she captures the influential art historian Linda Nochlin and her daughter. Neel’s deliberately crude brushstrokes and vibrant palette preclude the flattery typical of much portraiture. Nochlin’s looming head and large, discerning eyes challenge the viewer. Her confrontational stare contrasts with Daisy’s open and eager encounter with both painter and viewer.
