Early 20th Century American Art and Northwest Regionalism
Martin-Zambito Fine Art is committed to rediscovering and reviving interest in American Artists as well as regional artists of the Pacific Northwest. We have been instrumental in re-establishing the reputations of several noted artists who have become nationally well known due to our efforts. The Gallery welcomes the novice as well as advanced and institutional collectors. We focus on several mediums including Painting, Printmaking, Photography, and Sculpture. Our championing of women and minority artists has established the gallery as a leading source for collectors, curators, and art historians who concentrate on this time period.

ALICE NEEL
(Andrew Neel, USA, 2007, 35mm, 82 minutes)
Portrait painter Alice Neel (1900-1984) beautifully, and often hauntingly, captured the image and spirit of each of her hundreds of subjects over six decades. When the theatrics of Abstract Expressionism and Pop Art consumed the art world, Neel's figurative humanism was so unfashionable that she lived on welfare and was marginalized until the 1970s, when the counterculture embraced her and major museums began showing her work. Her grandson, filmmaker Andrew Neel, directs this unique documentary portrait of the artist that both celebrates her determination and explores the effects of her choices and sacrifices. The film traces Alice Neel’s tumultuous biography, as well as delving into the conflicts that her children (the filmmaker’s father, uncle and aunt) still struggle with. By turns fascinating, uncomfortable and inspirational, ALICE NEEL is a thought provoking, personal journey.
