A constant drama is one of the aspects that drew LeRoy Neiman to horse racing events. He enjoyed observing all the players, reveling in the abundance and diversity of social strata, always searching for inspiration. Its no wonder that the equestrian sport was one of the favorite subjects of the all-American painter of the good life.

The dramatic effect must have been what Neiman was going for with the composition of the Olympic Jumper. In motion, horse and the jockey in sync, they are about to jump out of the picture, straight into the reality.

Tension oozes from this closely cut scene, complemented by beautiful contrasts of reds, greens, yellows, and violets. The Olympic Jumper serigraph print was created as a part of the Olympic body of work, when LeRoy Neiman served as the official painter of the XXIII Olympiad in 1984. This international event was held at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, the only venue that hosted this significant event twice. Its known that Neiman spent a lot of time preparing the paintings and works for the Games, using a combination of two or more mediums, from ink, watercolor, gouache, to markers, chalk, colored pencils, and charcoal. This was also the last time he was appointed the official painter of the Olympic Games, which gives a special historical value to the piece, in addition to its artistic quality.

Specially framed, in excellent condition, the Olympic Jumper is certainly a delight for every collector of LeRoy Neimans art or sports memorabilia. The piece comes in professional, safe packaging.

This painter of the good life had the unprecedented skill to capture a figure in motion, while his genre scenes appealed to the broad public. He saw himself as an illustrator, even rather than a painter, while the pleasant moments from the everyday life he painted in a realistic manner. Fusing action painting techniques with Pop Art and Impressionist and Expressionist elements, Neiman emerged as a master of color.

He often used clean, unmixed nuances while his highly recognizable, brilliant palette developed. The color was his way of enhancing the experience, the scents, and feelings of the chosen subject. LeRoy Neiman started his professional career in the 1950s during the magazine era, and subsequently created illustrations for many magazines. The most notable one of the publications holding his illustrations is Playboy, but his work was featured in Sports Illustrated and Harpers as well.

As the creator of vivid chronicles of the American life, Neiman became increasingly and widely popular, even though he was never fully accepted by the haute critics, comparing him to Norman Rockwell. Nevertheless, he never ceased to work in the way he saw as best, captivating audiences with his skill, even painting on television! His works were exhibited at the Hammer Galleries in New York and the Franklin Bowles Gallery in San Francisco among other venues. Although fame brought him immense wealth, Neiman - a child of the Great Depression, lived frugally. This American Impressionist also served as the official artist of 5 Olympic Games, and he painted many prestigious sporting events, from the Kentucky Derby to Americas Boxing Cup and Super Bowl. Among his portrait subjects, we can find many celebrities, politicians and influential figures from different areas. LeRoy Neiman was born as LeRoy Runquist on June 8, 1921, in St. Paul School of Art and the Art Institute of Chicago after he completed military service. He lived in New York City, where he died on June 20, 2012, at the age of 91.
