Opens Tonight, May 4, 6-8p:Alice Neel&amp;#160;: Late Portraits &amp;amp; Still LifesDavid Zwirner, 533 W19th St., NYCWith a practice spanning the 1920s to the 1980s, Alice Neel (1900-1984) is widely regarded as one of the greatest figurative painters of the twentieth century. Based in New York City, Neel chose her subjects from her family, friends, and a broad variety of locals: writers, poets, artists, students, textile salesmen, psychologists, cabaret singers, and homeless bohemians. Her eccentric selection was thus also a portrayal of, and dialogue with, the city in which she lived. Through her forthright and at times humorous touch, her work engaged with ongoing political and social issues, including gender, racial inequality, and labor struggles. This exhibition includes portraits and still lifes made between 1964 and 1983, the last two decades of Neel&rsquo;s life.&nbsp;&nbsp; - thru June 23
