This depiction of an overhead view of the Piazza is represented in an incredibly bold, rich palette saturated with color. Vibrant hues of yellow, blue, and red catch the eye. The warm color harmony is complemented by use of brightly contrasting shades.
With his free brushstroke, Mr. Neiman captures the natural beauty and essence of Venice. “Over the centuries the passion of artists have been allured, myself included, to attempt to render the exquisite, superb, magnificence of Venice,” explains Mr. Neiman
Known for his bright, colorful paintings and screen prints, LeRoy Neiman (b.1921, St. Paul, Minnesota) is probably one of the most popular painters and printmakers in America. Neiman explores contemporary leisure, all the pastimes and places people enjoy, and the world of sports and entertainment. His style explodes with the dramatic intensity of Abstract Expressionist brush strokes.
He studied at the Art Institute of Chicago and taught there as well. Neiman’s work is in numerous permanent collections including the Baltimore Museum, Minneapolis Institute of Arts and the Art Institute of Chicago. He has exhibited both nationally and internationally during his prolific artistic career.
