LeRoy Neiman (1927-
The majority of Neiman's brilliantly colored, stunningly energetic images focus on sporting events and leisure activities. He was born in St. Paul, Minnesota, and taught at the Art Institute of Chicago for 10 years. He was a contributing artist for Playboy producing sketches and paintings for a feature called "Man at His Leisure." In 1995 he gave the School of the Arts at Columbia University $6 million to create the LeRoy Neiman Center for Print Studies.
Comments about Neiman

subjectPhilanthropy
messageThe world knows LeRoy Neiman as one of the world’s most popular and commercial artists. He was the painter who captured the Olympics as an impressionistic kaleidoscope of global competition. He was the showman who mixed with champions—from Muhammed Ali to Joe Namath to Secretariat—and cultural icons—from Leonard Bernstein to Frank Sinatra—turning celebrity into art

He was the media master who painted on live TV and enlivened books and magazines—Playboy, Time, and more—with his bright sketches. Throughout his exuberant life and his flamboyant career, LeRoy Neiman had no trouble being known. Today, he merits recognition for more than just his body of artwork—that is, for his extraordinary legacy as one of the art world’s leading educators, authors, and philanthropists
