As part of its program called “The American Season”, MFAH presents “Painted Truths”, devoted to the colorful and intense work of artist Alice Neel, 1900 – 1984. She is “best known for her psychologically acute portraits. Intimate, casual, direct and personal, satirical at times, they chronicle the social and economic diversity of mid-20th-century American life.”
