is one of the most successful contemporary illustrators. Neiman
was born in St. Paul, Minnesota and studied at the Art Institute
of Chicago (where he also later taught), the University of Chicago,
and the University of Illinois. He lives in NYC and regarded as
the most popular sports artist in the world, followed only by younger
artists Stephan Holland and Richard T. Slone. Neiman is estimated
to be the highest earner of any living american artist, his works
are distributed by Hammer Graphics and Knoedler Publishing Co of
New York. Neiman is married to Janet and lives in a 3 story duplex
overlooking Central Park.
The paintings are the excellent portrayal of the events and scenes
that we see around us. The painters are the best cameras of the
world. They reproduce many different types of pictures. They even
draw imaginary pictures that do not exist in this world. We tend
to use both thinned oil paints and dense oil paints. Masterpieces
can be dyed more than once, but each time it may be different from
the existing paintings.h
