Note on Art

A personal note from LeRoy Neiman on art criticism and his critical reception.

This note from LeRoy Neiman provides a commentary from the artist on art criticism. Playing with Plato’s aphorism, “the best stomachs are not those that reject all foods,” the artist provides an indirect harangue of art criticism: Neiman was largely condemned by the critics of his time. The record’s subject matter is elucidated by the document’s proximity to other notes on art critics and his critical reception.
