Still Life, Rose of Sharon
Alice Neel American
Not on view
Neel painted this lush, exuberant still life in Spring Lake, New Jersey, where she spent part of almost every summer. It showcases her painterly dexterity and her ability to evoke wide-ranging effects, textures, and materials—from delicate, colorful foliage to hard, semi-transparent glass. The still life manifests Neel’s unreserved joy of painting, in this instance applied to rendering one of her favorite flowers.
