...the unfinishedness of one of the paintings, James Hunter Black Draftee (1965) by Alice Neel, is especially striking, since nobody knows what happened to its subject. “She would ask people she didn’t know off the street to come in and sit for her,” says Kelly Baum, curator of postwar and contemporary art at the Met. “She asked this man, James Hunter, to pose and he told her he had been drafted for the war. He never came back for his second sitting. She decided she was going to call this painting finished anyway. She signed the back and showed it in the Whitney here in her retrospective in 1974. We don’t think he died because his name is not on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, in D.C. But we don’t know what happened to him.” If you know him — or you are him— the Met wouldn't mind hearing from you! Let us know in comments.
