Title

Note on Art

Subject

A note from LeRoy Neiman on his art and his artistic career.

Description

This note from LeRoy Neiman relays a set of images, experiences, partnerships, and cultural touchstones that proved of interest to the artist. The kind of frenetic associations made in the ad hoc list then in some way parallel Neiman’s own artistic process. That said, the topics dominating the catalogue prove singlar—e.g. the artist’s work with Playboy magazine and a list of cultural figures from the 1960s (e.g. Jack Kerouac and Bobby Kennedy). The note was most likely made in preparation for the artist’s memoir, All Told.
