Neel (1900-1984) had painted the growing family of contemporary artist and friend John Evans (1932-2012) since 1978. Her oil Margaret Evans Pregnant, 1978, now in the Institute for Contemporary Arts, Boston, portrayed the powerful physical transformation and self-assuredness of the pregnant woman, a topic artists had historically overlooked. The twin daughters from that pregnancy are the subjects of the current screenprint.
