The Pinacoteca Agnelli presents the first retrospective in Italy dedicated to American artist Alice Neel, one of the most significant painters of the 20th century. The exhibition offers an engaging perspective on the artist's work, highlighting her pioneering vision and her interest in humanity in all its forms.

Alice Neel is one of the great pioneers of the 1900s, a revolutionary painter whose approach to portraiture touched on fundamental human, social and political issues, well ahead of her time.

Blending realism and surrealism, with a stern gaze and emphatic brushstrokes, Neel succeeded in reading the human soul in its most hidden recesses.
