Alice Neel
Dear Altes,
Because we are living in such a crazy time and we still have February March etc.
we are sending you a beautiful short film, made in the 70s, from the MET.
It’s about Alice Need, a wonderful painter who had so much to say about everything.
Our friend Gary who used to work at the Elgin movie theater (remember the Elgin?)
sent us this film.

We all need recommendations for what to read and what to see and how to live
these next few months, surviving the anxiety of getting a vaccine appointment,
surviving the aftermath of the last administration, surviving masks and winter and
trying hard to keep finding joy, and to remain connected to one another and to life.
Tell us anything. Here we all are together. Love, Larry, Jessica, and Esther
PS Tell your friends (if they’re getting older) to join us.
