Signed LeRoy Neiman, lower left
Numbered 157/265
Very good condition, framed
Original care and handling instructions included.
Famous people, places, and cities were the most favorite subjects of LeRoy Neiman, an all-American painter. He had the knack to describe these famous images allowing their character to shine through the abundance of color and energetic lines.
“San Francisco by Day” to the series of color serigraphs showing us the essence of this West Coast metropolis - the Golden Gate bridge. It’s interesting how the artist does not actually depict the city, but its most celebrated landmark, extracting to the surface the essence and the most widely recognizable trait of the subject.
The aerial view of the gigantic bridge structure is highlighted with the brightest vermilion contrasting the cool nuances of the bay and the surrounding clouds. We can see it as a perfect summary of a bright, sunny day over the picturesque, hilly Californian city.
Even though he was most renowned as a painter, LeRoy Neiman was a passionate printmaker, while serigraphy was one of his preferred techniques. In 1996, he founded a philanthropic organization with his wife, Janet Byrne Neiman and their first donation was to Columbia University’s School of the Arts. The contribution was used to create the LeRoy Neiman Center for Print Studies, a world-renowned printmaking studio open to both Columbia students and international artists.

About LeRoy Neiman
Named the most popular artist in the United States, LeRoy Neiman was best known for his vibrantly colored, dynamic depictions of sports and entertainment. This painter of “the good life” had the unprecedented skill to capture a figure in motion, while his genre scenes appealed to the broad public. He saw himself as an illustrator, even rather than a painter, while the pleasant moments from the everyday life he painted in a realistic manner.
Fusing action painting techniques with Pop Art and Impressionist and Expressionist elements, Neiman emerged as a master of color. He often used clean, unmixed nuances while his highly recognizable, brilliant palette developed. The color was his way of enhancing the experience, the scents, and feelings of the chosen subject.
LeRoy Neiman started his professional career in the 1950s during “the magazine era”, and subsequently created illustrations for many magazines. The most notable one of the publications holding his illustrations is Playboy, but his work was featured in Sports Illustrated and Harpers as well.
As the creator of vivid chronicles of the American life, Neiman became increasingly and widely popular, even though he was never fully accepted by the ‘haute’ critics, comparing him to Norman Rockwell. Nevertheless, he never ceased to work in the way he saw as best, captivating audiences with his skill, even painting on television! His works were exhibited at the Hammer Galleries in New York and the Franklin Bowles Gallery in San Francisco among other venues.
Although fame brought him immense wealth, Neiman - a child of the Great Depression, lived frugally. At the same time, he was very generous, having donated almost $20 million to different art institutions around the country. This “American Impressionist” also served as the official artist of 5 Olympic Games, and he painted many prestigious sporting events, from the Kentucky Derby to America’s Boxing Cup and Super Bowl. Among his portrait subjects, we can find many celebrities, politicians and influential figures from different areas.
LeRoy Neiman was born as LeRoy Runquist on June 8, 1921, in St. Paul, MN. He attended St. Paul School of Art and the Art Institute of Chicago after he completed military service. He lived in New York City, where he died on June 20, 2012, at the age of 91.
