LeRoy Neiman
American - St. Paul, Minnesota
June 8,1927

Overview:
LeRoy Neiman's paintings burst with life. A modern painter, Neiman nonetheless takes a page from the Impressionist handbook when it comes to style. He is less concerned with pinpointing the details of a scene as he is with capturing the overall energy and explosiveness of a given moment in time. The slashing strokes and vivid colors that characterize his work lend an immediacy to each of the pieces he produces.

Much of Neimen's work focuses on images that are familiar in popular culture. His unique style gives even common subjects a fresh twist. A person may never look at one of our national symbols the same way again after seeing Neiman's "Statue of Liberty." In the piece, the sky behind the statue is ablaze with incredible hues of yellow, red, blue and green. The statue itself, instead of being dwarfed by such color, stands out all the more as a potent and powerful part of United States culture.

The unique perspective and potent colors found in the painting are emblematic of Neiman's work, much of which can be found here at Art Auction Fundraiser.com. We also offer numerous framing and mat combinations designed to match the power and grandiosity of Neiman's art.
