Hilton Als on Alice Neel's Overlooked Queer Paintings
Briefly

Jackie, she is just speeding away / She thought she was James Dean for a day / But then you know that she had to crash.
It's an amazing example of how Neel is able to represent transmogrification, that you evolve and change. She was amazing at that in a still medium.
I love what she conveys about him, which is a self-containment born of several things, one being fashion.
