The Art of Leroy Neiman

Being an art collector that enjoysa wide variety of styles and artists, Leroy Neiman has always been one of my favorites.

These are two of my favorite pieces by Neiman.

Those are lovely pieces, Kavika. I love his work, too.

But I will give you a laugh..

My dyslexic mind at work...

At first I read the title as "The Art of Leonard Nimoy".

And I thought.. Gee.. I never knew he painted.

Oy.

I can remember the days when he was the "Artist Emiratus" for Playboy and they always had displays of his works. Fell in love with all of them - awesome talent.

Thanks Kavika.

If you see them in close up, the color is amazing. Also, to appreciate the detail you have to study them for a period of time RW.

His addition of people to some of his painting, is really quite well done. It also draws your eye to individual people. Once you study it for a bit, you start seeing many many people in his works.

Feronia, I have the companion piece to, ''Casino at Monte Carlo'', entitled, Harbor at Monte Carlo.

The more you observe it, the more you see Feronia.

I post 4 or 5 other articles on artists that I collect. Take a look.

Also a photographer that I collect, Roland Reed.
