Note on Art
A personal note from LeRoy Neiman on art.
This personal note from LeRoy Neiman lists a range of the artist's references, including Armenian artist Jennie Augusta Brownscombe's <em>Thanksgiving at Plymouth</em> (1925)<em>. </em>That said, it is unclear what Neiman is pointing to with the phrase, "Painting toenails and drawing tatoos on recycled paper with soy-based inks." The note was written on the reverse of a card the artist received from Boca Raton Resort and Club, notifying him of his premier status. This ambiguous remark could then reference guest or celebrity Neiman observed during his stay.

Note on Art
A note from LeRoy Neiman on printmaking.
This note from LeRoy Neiman provides a fragmentary introduction to the artist’s relationship with printmaking. The writing opens with an anecdote concerning Toulouse Lautrec (in which a french actress refuses the artist's gifted work). Falling out of this decontextualized tidbit, Neiman provides an unfinished definition of a monoprint that leads to phrases such as, “prosaic commonplace / similar features resembling monkey or apes.” He closes the note with, “paint metaphorical, metaphorically / passage or image in a painting literally denoting one kind of object, or idea, is in place of another to suggest a likeness or analogy between them.” The nature fo the note is not known.
