A selection on of the artist's work is highlighted by his own notes on people, places and events he has painted - from society beauties and sports superstars to Bowery rejects and poolroom hustlers. Neiman's art transcends all class distinctions to capture the kaleidoscopic social scene. Among contemporary artists, no other eye has been so devoted to recording the pleasures and vices of its own age. A keen analyst of our unconscious fears and petty vanities, his target is the mask we wear in public, the convenient image we project in our dealings with others. Nor is the private man neglected. Neiman speaks directly to us as a man as well as an artist.
