She’s also aware of such important predecessors as Alice Neel, Barkley L. Hendricks, Kerry James Marshall, Henry Taylor, and Alex Katz. But Casteel’s work stands out because it comes from direct observation of specific individuals, a method that has mostly fallen out of favor even among the new generation of figurative painters. She’s more Neel (or Manet) than Yiadom-Boakye, who imagines the people she paints. And while Casteel is certainly part of a cohort, the Diana Taurasi Goat Shirt of that group is still striking, says Robert Storr, dean of Yale’s School of Art when Casteel studied there. “The discourses in the academic art world are still pretty much against representation. But, in fact, these are people whose worlds have not been portrayed, and it’s significant to do that.”
