Item description from seller

Quarto. Softcover. Illustrated wraps. 96 pages : color illustrations, portraits ; 28 cm. Published in conjunction with the exhibition held September 21, 2019 - January 19, 2020 at Woodmere Art Museum./ "As the chronology in this publication demonstrates, Neff's work was understood in her lifetime in the context of the new realism in American art of the 1960s and 1970s. She was also frequently included in exhibitions of work by women artists that were organized to assert new feminist perspectives in the arts. Like Sylvia Sleigh (1916-2010), Neff overturned the long tradition of the male artists' privileged view of the objectified female muse. She enjoyed painting beautiful men and frequently positioned the sensuous male figure as the object of her gaze and that of the viewer. Her female nudes were often self-portraits in which she asserted a comfort with the imperfect beauty of her own body, the process of aging, and the degree to which human flesh bares the literal and metaphorical scars of life. As a figurative painter in Philadelphia, her cohorts included Larry Day, Martha Erlebacher, Eileen Goodman, Sidney Goodman, Ben Kamihira, Mitzi Melnicoff, Scott Noel, Elizabeth Osborne, Peter Paone, and Patricia Traub"--Page 4.
