Dana Gordon is a painting by Alice Neel, a 1972 portrait painted with oil on canvas depicting a man sitting in a striped chair. Little is known about this work in particular because it is not on display in a public museum or gallery but instead in a private collection, specifically the Alice Neel Estate. However, details of the work can be inferred through comparison to her other paintings. This piece was painted in oil on either canvas or linen, as most of her paintings at this time were. Neel rejected traditional portraiture and the aesthetic value that came along with it. She used people as an outlet to display the human condition and her own emotional and political journey. Due to her brutal honesty and interest in naturalism when depicting people, her style fell somewhere between expressionism and realism, as can be seen in the raw emotion and humanity she is able to capture in all of her paintings.
Background
By 1972, Neel was nearing the end of her life and was living in New York City. 1972 also marked the beginning of the "New Right" in which conservatives reacted to the changes occurring through the Civil Rights Movement, the Feminist Movement, and the interest in the Communist Party. Neel was a Communist for almost her entire life and her radical political views are apparent in who she painted and the way she painted them. Neel always chose to paint average, every day, and underrepresented people. Dana Gordon depicts an everyday man, presumably of middle or lower class. He is not wearing any shoes and he looks tired, worn out, and dirty, the bags under his eyes emphasized through heavy shadowing. By painting him in this way she displays a specific side of his humanity. He appears as someone who has been beaten down by America's Capitalist and war-obsessed economy, as 1972 was three years before the end of the Vietnam War. The muted colors hint at the isolated existence this man lived, mirroring the feelings of someone beaten down by the unobtainable "American Dream."
Formal qualities
In the piece, Neel utilizes color and line in order to communicate human emotion and the relationship between subject and environment within the artwork.
Neel uses color to depict the man in this beaten down and emotionally drained way. The man's shirt, paints, and chair are all painted in different blue colors while the man's hair and skin are of varying browns. The color palette is generally cool, giving the painting a somber and lonely tone. The lack of warmth emphasizes the lack of life within the subject. However, the skin and hair of the man are warmer in undertone, demonstrating the human emotion felt by the man despite his apparent lack of enthusiasm. The wall in the background of the piece is cream, brown, and blue, like the figure, tying together the subject in the foreground to the wall in the background and further emphasizing the connection of emotion and the relationship the subject has with his environment.
In addition to color, line is used in the painting in order to guide the viewer's eye. Lines are painted on both the man's shirt and the chair in which he is sitting, similarly to the motif of blue throughout the artwork. The striped blue chair featured in this painting is present in a number of Neel's artworks, tying her paintings together like a thread. Images with the blue chair present seem to denote that the object was commissioned by the subject or that the subject came to Neel's home to be painted. Her own self-portrait depicts her sitting in the same blue chair, indicating it as a piece of furniture in her home. The lines on the chair lead the viewer's eyes up the subject to his face which holds the bulk of his humanity and apparent strife. As aforementioned, the man appears tired and worn down. His facial features most clearly exhibit this: his dark under-eye bags, his scraggly beard, his long, unkempt hair, and his wrinkled face. The lines she paints create a coherent flow from one aspect of the painting to another, further emphasizing the relationship between subject and environment. Soft lines are used in the wall to create a pattern, separating it from the foreground.
Purpose
This painting is not particularly different from her others; she largely painted portraits of people who she either knew personally or who commissioned portraits from her. Due to this portrait being named after the subject himself, the painting was most likely commissioned by the man for his own personal ownership, before being handed over to the Alice Neel Estate. She painted both people and the political climate in which they were involved, as can be seen in the quote "I want my portraits to be specifically the person and also the Zeitgeist."<ref name="Meyer 2014" />

Madagascar-Mexico relations refers to the diplomatic relations between the Republic of Madagascar and the United Mexican States. Both nations are members of the United Nations.
History
During the Second French intervention in Mexico, France brought vanilla vines from Mexico to Madagascar (and to other locations) to plant which later resulted in Madagascar becoming one of the largest producers of vanilla in the world. In June 1960, Madagascar obtained its independence from France. A year later, in 1961, Mexican President Adolfo López Mateos sent a presidential delegation of goodwill, led by Special Envoy Alejandro Carrillo Marcor and Delegate José Ezequiel Iturriaga, to visit Madagascar and to pave the way for the establishment of diplomatic relations between both nations.
Madagascar and Mexico established diplomatic relations on 26 December 1975. Since the establishment of diplomatic relations, overall relations have been limited between both nations and have taken place primarily in multilateral forums such as the United Nations. In 2005, Ambassador Mauricio de Maria y Campos became the first Mexican non-resident representative to present credentials and be accredited to Madagascar.
In November 2010, Malagasy Minister for the Environment, Herilanto Raveloharison, paid a visit to Mexico to attend the 2010 United Nations Climate Change Conference held in Cancún. In April 2014, Malagasy Minister of Finance, Lantoniaina Rasoloelison, paid a visit to Mexico.
In November 2016, a delegation from Mexico led by Special Envoy (and Mexican ambassador to France), Juan Manuel Gómez Robledo and Director General for Europe, Francisco del Río; attended as observers the conference of the Organisation internationale de la Francophonie held in Antananarivo.
In 2016, Mexico opened an honorary consulate in Antananarivo.
