Neiman attended a Roman Catholic primary school, where he was already popular for his drawing. Returning home to Minnesota after serving as a cook in WWII, Neiman attended art school. After graduating he remained there, teaching figure drawing and fashion illustration throughout the 50?s. During the same time he was working freelance for the Carson Pirie Scott department store in Chicago. While working there he would meet Hugh Hefner, who at the time was working as a copywriter for the department store. Hefner got Neiman a job illustrating for the magazine. In addition to illustrations for the magazine, Neiman was also contracted to paint murals for the Playboy clubs around the world. Neiman is most famous for his dynamic and colorful sports drawings. Using vibrant colors, Neiman depicted some of the most famous athletes and sporting events of the time. The Femlins are not only original drawings by Neiman, they are a great example of 20th-century Americana; they symbolize the Playboy aesthetic of the 1960s and 70s and are icons of popular culture. When Hefner had the idea to start his men's magazine, he asked Neiman to do the original artwork, and the "Femlin" was born! Neiman envisioned her as being 12" tall, so in most of the illustrations, she's in that scale. She's depicted as being mischievous, and as her name suggests, she's a female gremlin. Starting in 1957, every issue of Playboy had two black and white Femlins; she was usually on the jokes page behind the centerfold. Amazingly, Neiman contributed two Femlins drawings for every monthly issue, for 50 years. The illustrations were created as a "camera-ready" line-art, to be photographed and then reduced for inclusion in Playboy Magazine Condition Excellent Buyer's Premium 25%

Neiman attended a Roman Catholic primary school, where he was already popular for his drawing. Returning home to Minnesota after serving as a cook in WWII, Neiman attended art school. After graduating he remained there, teaching figure drawing and fashion illustration throughout the 50?s. During the same time he was working freelance for the Carson Pirie Scott department store in Chicago. While working there he would meet Hugh Hefner, who at the time was working as a copywriter for the department store. Hefner got Neiman a job illustrating for the magazine. In addition to illustrations for the magazine, Neiman was also contracted to paint murals for the Playboy clubs around the world. Neiman is most famous for his dynamic and colorful sports drawings. Using vibrant colors, Neiman depicted some of the most famous athletes and sporting events of the time. The Femlins are not only original drawings by Neiman, they are a great example of 20th-century Americana; they symbolize the Playboy aesthetic of the 1960s and 70s and are icons of popular culture. When Hefner had the idea to start his men's magazine, he asked Neiman to do the original artwork, and the "Femlin" was born! Neiman envisioned her as being 12" tall, so in most of the illustrations, she's in that scale. She's depicted as being mischievous, and as her name suggests, she's a female gremlin. Starting in 1957, every issue of Playboy had two black and white Femlins; she was usually on the jokes page behind the centerfold. Amazingly, Neiman contributed two Femlins drawings for every monthly issue, for 50 years. The illustrations were created as a "camera-ready" line-art, to be photographed and then reduced for inclusion in Playboy Magazine Condition Excellent Buyer's Premium 25%

                        LeRoy Neiman Ascot Racing Oil on board 36 x 48 in Signed, dated ‘72. “The Royal Ascot, showpiece of British racing, is England’s greatest meet of the year, where fashion and racing come together under starter’s orders, but decorum, be it Regency or Victorian, comes first. The grand promenade from the Royal enclosure to the Ascot paddock (the sacred inner circle) is treated by the classconscious as if it were the road to the Promised Land. Holding to the rigid rule of morning coat and top hat, the gents look tall as bobbies or Royal Guards at St. James Palace. They all become immediately shorter when they remove their toppers in the presence of the Queen. On occasion, the English enjoy looking taller than they really are! “The cutaway coat was originally tailored for ease in sitting resplendently on a horse, and it’s cavalier’s panache fits well into this ‘My Fair Lady’ setting. “The scene is liberally seasoned with frivolous coiffures, blossoming hats, frills, and extravagant regalia—the full range of trappings and finery, with which Englishwomen garnish themselves at the races. “It is said that the rich are more eager to become gentlemen than the gentlemen are to become rich. In any event, you will find them all in the Royal Ascot paddock, an impartial showcase for the wealthy as well as the knighted. Whether practiced by the real aristocracy or by pretenders, this difficult pastime of doing nothing must be done well, with distinction, effortlessness, natural poise, ease, and affability. The sprightly, nonchalant jockeys, elegant and indifferent, are tolerant of all this idleness and leisure. “But as always, the integrity of English racing is assured and must be preserved. The Thoroughbreds running in Royal Ascot are the ‘cream of horseflesh,’ their blood a patent of nobility. In the Sport of Kings the Thoroughbred is the King of Horses. Polished and pampered, he reigns supreme in beauty, speed, grace, courage, stamina, and heart. He is bred for one reason: to race against his kind, and he does so in nearly fifty countries. Like irreverence for Art, irreverence for these fine racing machines strikes me as an impossibility.” – LeRoy Neiman, Horses, page 169

                        LeRoy Neiman Stake Race Oil on board 9.87 x 18.37 in Signed, dated ‘71, inscribed verso. Provenance: Hammer Galleries (This exact image, at the same size, was made into a serigraph as an edition of 300 and is illustrated in The Prints of Leroy Neiman on page 87. Another identical image called Charging Cavalcade appears as a spread on pages 26 and 27 of Leroy Neiman’s Horses 12” x 24”.) LeRoy Neiman’s colorful and spontaneous depictions of athletes in action have become iconic images in American art. The seemingly effortless fluidity and unique style with which Neiman painted horses has cemented his legacy as one of the most innovative and authentic artists ever to tackle the genre. However, as the artist is quick to point out in the introduction to his book Horses, his work is built upon the great foundation that was laid by the artists that came before him. “The horse’s many and varied appearances in art have served me well. My paintings and drawings of the horse were influenced from the beginning by the art that preceded my own. I consider the work of the great masters throughout the centuries my inheritance. The spirited, lively, rearing horse has been a favorite subject since the time of the Greeks; it was adopted by Leonardo, developed by Rubens and Bernini, and perpetuated by Delacroix. The innovations of each of these artists were influenced by the societies of their time.” Neiman embraced and respected the lessons and traditions of the past and incorporated them into a style that is truly unique. “An artist must not allow himself to become too dependent on the artists who preceded him. By the same token, it is hazardous to concentrate only on the precepts and examples of one’s own contemporaries. However, it is common practice for an artist to borrow elements from everything around him, whether it be art, life, television, or whatever he feels suits his needs, and incorporate them in his own work. “To the horseman, confirmation is very important, but for the artist, silhouette and movement are everything. Form, grace, and beauty, the horse’s mane and tail flying in the air as he gallops by leaving his hoof prints behind him—these are what count. The artist, with a solid groundwork of equine anatomy feels free to violate and exaggerate any of the horseman’s criteria of ideal form in order to create the essential Horse. In my paintings light builds all solid forms where colors echo one another until at last the horse emerges. The line of intention, though ever changing, maintains its purpose of describing the horse and the result is, always respectfully, the horse.”

                        LeRoy Neiman To the Wire Oil on Canvas 47 x 95 in Signed, dated ‘71. This monumental work offers a rare and powerful glimpse into what Neiman believed was the height of excitement in horse racing: horses thundering to the finish. To the Wire exemplifies the magic moment that all race fans live for: the finish. In his book Horses, Neiman describes this moment sublimely: “After all the paddock pageantry, the colorful post-parade, and the clang of the starting bell, what is more dramatic than viewing a race along the rail near or at the finish? “It is all rather orderly as the crowd of horses string out, making its way around the course until, to the observer leaning out over the rail and looking up the straight into the pack, the horses appear to bunch up again as they round the curve, coming head on. Careening diagonally to their left around the bend, the horses thunder into the stretch. “A roar surges from the fans at the far end of the stretch and tension mounts as the horses head for home. The racing machines’ power to excite increases as a crescendo of highvoltage emotion passes through the grandstand, reaching the point of bedlam near the clubhouse. “At the infield rail the very ground you are standing on trembles. The jockeys lean forward in their irons, shouting and swearing as the saddles they no longer occupy creak and strain, while the snorting horses labor under cracking whips. “Then, as the Thoroughbreds’ tumultuous hooves flash across the finish, the frenzy lets up. The roar subsides, a murmur lingers on, then quiet settles over the crowd and all tension slacks. “All immediate emotions are spent—the crowd’s, the athletes’, and the quivering, steaming steeds’. It is a mighty and absorbing scene. To be close up is to feel it all.”
