Note on Art
A personal note from LeRoy Neiman on his art.
This note, expanding on LeRoy Neiman's impression of spectatorship, sports art, and artistic process, is most likely a draft of the artist's catalogue essay for his monograph <em>Winners: My Thrity Years in Sports</em> published in 1983. The text seems ot build on another note Neiman entitled "Winning," fleshing out some of the this document's maxiums and tempering the poetic tone.

Note on Art
A note from LeRoy Neiman on portraiture and his artistic process.
This note from LeRoy Neiman reveals the artist’s thoughts on portraiture and his artistic process, more generally. The first section of the writing speaks to Neiman’s method of assessing a subject. (e.g. He writes, “I penetrate in in the subject observed from whatever distance.”) The majority of this analysis constitutes a discussion of physiognomy. The second section speaks to the kind of “everyday” aspects of Neiman’s work. Not only does the artist emphasize the literal everyday character of his practice (i.e. he makes work, largely, everyday) but it also more tacitly underlines his interest in the ordinary.
