Subject
A personal note from LeRoy Neiman on art's role in society.
Description
This note from LeRoy Neiman looks at art’s social role, broadly. In the document, he outlines three divisions “period,” “nation,” and “individual,” asserting a convalesce between these three “forms” and a aesthetic relation, or function. Beyond this triad, he also provides a definition of “quality” (which he formulates as the question, “is it good?”) and “painterly” (which for him constitutes working with “patches rather than lines”). Despite the note's abstract tone, it can be seen as providing some insight into how he situates is own work in a larger social matrix.
