Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. First Printing [Stated]. 285, [3] pages. Oversized book, measuring 13 inches by 10 inches. Illustrated endpapers. Includes Introduction by LeRoy Neiman; Paintings and Drawings (pages 17-80); His Life (and style)--a chronology (pages 83-102); Sketchbook--with the artist's notes (pages 103-279); and Biography and References (pages 280-285). This superlative selection of Neiman's finest work is highlighted by the artist's notes on the people, places, and events he has painted--from chic society beauties, superstars, and big business wheeler-dealers to Bowery rejects, pool-room hustlers, and sidewalk hustlers. This is the first time that a cross section of Neiman's work has been gathered together between covers. Equally significant, the meaning behind Neiman's art is given verbal as well as visual expression. We hear the artist's thoughts on his own paintings. LeRoy Neiman: Art & Life Style is a selection of Neiman's finest work. Neiman's art transcends all class distinctions to capture the kaleidoscopic social scene. With 350 reproductions, 300 in full color. LeRoy Neiman (born LeRoy Leslie Runquist, June 8, 1921 - June 20, 2012) was an American artist known for his brilliantly colored, expressionist paintings and screen prints of athletes, musicians, and sporting events. Neiman served in the U.S. Army during World War II. He worked as a cook until the end of the war, when his art skills were recognized and put to use painting sets for Red Cross shows. Following his return in 1946, Neiman studied at the St. Paul School of Art, then at the School of The Art Institute of Chicago on the G.I. Bill. After graduating, Neiman served on the Art Institute faculty for ten years. During the time Neiman was teaching, he was exhibiting art in competitions and winning prizes. In 1954, Neiman began his association with Playboy magazine. Neiman had met Hugh Hefner while doing freelance fashion illustration for the Carson Pirie Scott department store chain, where Hefner was a writer. Hefner and Playboy art director Art Paul commissioned an illustration for the magazine's fifth edition. Among Neiman's contribution over the next 50 years, he created the Femlin character for the Party Jokes page, and did a feature for 15 years titled "Man at His Leisure," where Neiman would paint illustrations of his travels to exotic locations. Beginning in 1960, he traveled the world observing and painting leisure life, social activities and athletic competitions including the Olympics, the Super Bowl, the World Series, the Kentucky Derby, championship boxing, PGA and The Masters golf tournament, The Ryder Cup, the World Equestrian Games, Wimbledon and other Grand Slam competitions, as well as night life, entertainment, jazz and the world of casino gambling.…
