LeRoy Neiman, Painter of Olympiads, Dies at 91
LeRoy Neiman, whose brilliantly colored, impressionistic sketches of sporting
events and the international high life made him one of the most popular artists
in the United States, died Wednesday. He was 91.
Mr. Neiman died of natural causes, according to his publicist.
Mr. Neiman’s kinetic, quickly executed paintings and drawings, many of them
published in Playboy, offered his fans gaudily colored visual reports on
heavyweight boxing matches, Super Bowl games and Olympic contests, as well as
social panoramas like the horse races at Deauville, France, and the Cannes Film
Festival.
