Inhaltsangabe

Emerging in the 1950s in Chicago, LeRoy Neiman brought to his art the painterliness of Abstract Expressionism, but he couldn't resist representing the world around him. The artists he mingled with were the great jazz artists: Armstrong and Fitzgerald, Mingus and Davis, and his portraits of them are profound. As his career flourished, Neiman travelled the jet-set circuit and depicted urban sophisticates, cafe society and cocktail culture. Neiman is perhaps best known for his depictions of sporting events and portraits of sports icons, from Muhammed Ali to Roy Jones Jr. This volume encompasses the entire creative vision of LeRoy Neiman, showcasing the rich, multi-faceted spectacle of contemporary life in the second half of the 20th century.
