Bathing in a Furnished Room

Alice Neel American

Not on view

Bathing in a Furnished Room and two works titled The Family from 1927, also in this exhibition, are three of the relatively few works on paper to survive a devastating fire set by Kenneth Doolittle in 1934. These watercolors speak to Neel’s fascination with the home as a stage for some of life’s most private dramas, both physical and emotional.
