From the archive (Film): George McNeil - ART/new york no. 34

After more than 50 years in the New York art world, George McNeil's expressionist paintings came to the forefront, along with Neo-Expressionists such as Basquiat and Schnabel, who emerged in the early 80's. Rooted in Cubism, his large and ambitious paintings incorporate recognizable imagery that is playful, inventive and fresh.
