Note on Art
Subject
A personal note from LeRoy Neiman on artistic reference, specifically Spanish Romanticist Francisco Goya and bullfighting.
Description
This note from LeRoy Neiman provides a list of artistic references, particularly work from artist Francisco Goya; a preponderance of the pieces cited depict bullfighting.
Neiman made a collection of works engaging bullfighting and bull dodging including, Adriano, World Champion Bull Rider On Little Yellow Jacket, which was widly distributed through Knoedler Publishing as posters and prints. That said, the majority of Neiman's works were rendered on site, with the artist both sketching and painting contests in the flesh as well as using these live materials for studio-based paintings. (Neiman attended many bull events accross the US as well as in Spain and Mexico.) This note then provides insight into the artist's more art historical interest in the animal and the sport, but should not be seen as total.
