Note on Art
Subject
A note from LeRoy Neiman on artistic reference, specifically baccarat.
Description
This note from LeRoy Neiman gives a kind of narrative account of baccarat. Neiman made a series of works—including Desert Inn Baccarat and Baccarat, paintings both made in the early 1990s and widely distributed as posters and prints—depicting the subject. The note was most likely made in preparation for the artist’s memoir, All Told.
