Default The Worst Artist in America Has Died


LeRoy Neiman, the astonishingly successful artist behind visual atrocities like these...





...has died. He was 91. I'm sad for his family and happy for him that he was able to live such a full life (and have such a full mustache), but reading his obituary has made me aware that all of the worst sports-related (and sometimes music-related) artwork I have seen hanging in people's offices was the product of one man, as opposed to some awful art factory as I might have assumed before today. Maybe somewhere out in the ether today he and Thomas Kinkade are raising a glass to terrible artwork together.

Leroy's paintings are pretty garish but they are reminiscent of a certain time and place. He did some huge paintings of casino and race track type scenes that were super detailed and kind of cool, but I do agree that, like Kincaid, he will probably go down in history more as a commercial illustrator than a capital-A artist.

That Shaq painting is so bad it looks more like Charles Barkley than Shaq.

Hey now, Canada is a big place. Can't blame all of us! Blame Stratford.
