<p class="p1">A note from LeRoy Neiman made in preparation for his <i>Busker Alley</i> mural at the St. James theatre in 1995.</p>
Description
An account of the resource
This note was of a few from LeRoy Neiman made in preparation for his prospective mural at the St. James Theatre. The venue, which was set to host <em>Busker Alley</em>, invited the artist to paint the facade of the building in lieu of a billboard. That said, the broadway show was cancelled before its premier at the theater. Neiman’s mural was eventually painted over.<br /><br /> The document itself includes a list of artworks engaging public space, including Matisse’s famed chapel in on the French Riviera, frescos in Rome and Venice, and Thomas Hart Benton’s murals. At the bottom of the record, he has written in red marker and capital letters, “[I’ve] often thought about stuff like stage sets and murals. But you have to be asked. So I’ve been more than anything an easel painter.” The comment is a bit out of place, seeing Neiman was invited to paint the very piece.

[ H. INFLUENCES & IMITATIONS]
Army [When I just got out of the army in St. Paul, I did a quick oil on a cotton canvas fragment of a Tilman Riemenschneider's head of Christ from a pamphlet on his work I bought in Wurzburg in 1945 in an army occupation]
Chicago - New York [Carl Milles' Triton fountain at C.A.I and piece in stall at the Met Restaurant were touchstones to onyx Indian in St. Paul's post office] The two Minnesota pieces are no longer there
Student [As a student, because of Swedish blood, I read the writings of Swedenborg (6) and the plays of Stringburg. I also read Sartre, Paul Klee, Santayana, Freud, Kafka, the Russians, Baudelaire, Hemingway, Fitzgerald, Henri James (7), T.S. Eliot and discovered Beckett. I took Swedenborg] Books [from the library] /
[The Chicago sociologist started to make their imprint] impact [on me as well as poets Paul Carrol,] and [Raoul Denny, John Piper adn big MAN David Riesman - author of "The Lonely Crowd" (1950).

You must have knowledge of your predecessors and respect for them as you hope generations hence will have work for you / ---- / During the 50's and 60's, my favorite artworks were Toulouse Lautrec's lithos, Gustav Gourbet's (1819-1877) "L'Apres-Diner a Oran" (1949), Paul Cezanne's "Card Players" (1892), Daumier's "At the Cafe" Lautrec and Dufy were my favorites as well, together with Kees van Dongen, a then hard to find in Chicago, an "out of favor artist"] Will select from later [I became very attached to certain paintings in the Chester Dale collection - Henri-Marie-Rayond, Vicomte de Toulouse Lautrec Monfa, French 1892 "At the Moulin Rouge" (47 1/2 X 55 1/4), "At the Moulin de la Gallete".

I always have felt Matisse arrived at what he wanted with having to change the things very much. His intelligence guided him,] he had the ability to [put down what he intended / - Pablo Picasso, Spanish 1881-1973: "Family of Saltimbanques" (7 X 7 1/2), "Lovers" / - John Singer Sargent, American 1856-1925: "Nude Study of an Egyptian Girl" / - Giorgio de Chirico, Italian 1888-19: "Conversation Among the Ruins" (loan) / - Francois Boucher, French: "Nude" / - Georges Rouault, French 1871-19 "Jesus Always Scourged" (1922) (Also "Christ's Head", in Paris) / - A half dozen Braques' and Innis / - The women paintings of Modigliani / - Edgar Degas, French 1834-1917 Pastels, namely "Dancers in the Wings"] /
[In the Art Institute Museum upstairs, Addison and I would visit the galleries almost everyday.] at noon time [He had his favorites - Rembrandt, Vermeer, etc. I had mine, mostly the French. Two particular paintings that made my mind wanter to the Riviera were Matisse's "Woman Standing at the Window" and Dufy's "Open Window" (Nice, 1928) Similar subjects were depicted a view out from an interior on]to [the Mediterranean.

Description
An account of the resource
This note from LeRoy Neiman provides an exhaustive account of artistic influences—covering everything from “Chicago sociologists” to Tilman Riemenschneider's <em>Head of Christ</em>— garnered at the artist’s time at SAIC. The note is roughly divided into five sections: influential literature read, courses (in both the humanities and studio arts) taken, artworks physical seen, and anecdotes about the Chicago Art Institute. The sections have little relation outside of autobiographical chornology, and the note was most likley taken in preparation for the artist's memior, <em>All Told</em>.

["Without intent I draw from the outside world the semblance of things, but in this way, I, myself become part of the world's imaginings. Thus in everything imagination is simply that which is natural. It is natural vision, life..." / H. INFLUENCES & IMITATIONS / When I got out of the army in St. Paul, I did a quick oil on a cotton canvas fragment of a Tilman Riemenschneider's head of Christ from a pamphlet on his work I bought in Wurzburg in 1945 in army occupation. / During the 50's and 60's ] some of [my favoriet artworks were Toulouse Lautrec's lithos, Gustave Courbet's (1819-1877) "L'Apres-Diner a Oran" (1949), Paul Cezanne's "Card Players" (1892), Daumier's "At the Cafe" / Lautrec and Dufy were my favorites as well, together with Kees van Dongen, a then hard to find in Chicago, sort of "out of favor" artist. / I became very attached to certain paintings in the Chester Dale collection / - Henri-Marie-Raymond, Vicomte de Toulouse Lautrect Monfa, French 1892. "At the Moulin Rouge" (47 1/2 X 55 1/4), "At the Moulin de la Galette" the SAIC owned half a dozen of his paintings, a sketchbook and hundreds of prints. A Lautrec exhibition was held in 1949.

When he made a change he left evidence / [- Pablo Picasso, Spanish 1881-1973: "Family of Saltimbanques" (7 X 7 1/2), "Lovers" and from his "blue period", little girl etching a bowl while standing at a table (1901) / - John Singer Sargent, American 1856-1925: "Nude Study of an Egyptian Girl" / - Giorgio de Chirico, Italian 1888-19: "Conversation Among the Ruins" (loan) / - Francois Boucher, French: "Nude" / - Georges Rouault, French 1871-19 "Jesus Always Scourged" (1922) (Also "Christ's Head", in Paris) / - A half dozen Braques' and Innis / - The women paintings of Modigliani / - Edgar Degas, French 1834-1917 Pastels, namely "Dancers in the Wings" / At SAIC all students experienced, first hand, the many benefits of the Museum, of the Ryerson Library Print Collection as well as the Goodman Theater of Drama - which was associated with the school. / My art teachers at SAIC were Boris Anisfeld (painting),] Document [Briggs Dyer (drawing and painting), Alan Philbrick (pen and ink), John Rogers Cox (scratch board rendering), Ed Ruppercht (subject matter, general drawing), Paul Wieghart (painting),] 6 [Members of SAIC's staff were Carl O.

Daniel Catton Rich (director of Art Institute from 1938 to 1958) loved Magnasco (4) Fredrick A. Sweet (curator of American paintings) when he selected a painting from two he was considering to hang in the American exhibition of the Art Institute, said after studying the two paintings "you're on the right track, but your paintings need be a bit more cursory". This was meaningful comment and I've tried, but still show more than I should. / Art school students were John Bajerus, Bob and Herb Katzman, Franz Schultz, Seymour Rosephsky, Irv Petlin, Bob Natkin (with whom I am still in contact), Nathan Goldstein,] very promising sculptor [Claus Oldenburg, Leon Golub, Estes (who started the hyperreaslist school) Jordan Krimstein, John Jurgens] had something surrealistically special [and Charles Usher] a talent who I felt needed to be watched [a black student (5), were very talented.

I looked at Fragonard and Tiepolo in Ryerson Library.
