LeRoy Neiman: A Keen Observer of Style was organized by the Kent State University Museum in collaboration with the LeRoy Neiman and Janet Byrne Neiman Foundation and focuses on Neiman’s (SAIC 1947–50, HON 2006) striking fashion illustrations. Curated by Sara Hume, the exhibition unites 85 illustrations spanning Neiman’s early work in retail and commercial illustration in Chicago and his sketches and studies throughout the ensuing decades, exploring themes such as masculinity, celebrity, and the formal elements of gesture, line, and color.
