| LeRoy
Neiman has been described as the most popular living painter in
America. While strikingly original, his work reflects the varied
influences of Lautrec, Dufy, the New York Social realists and the
Abstract Expressionists. Probably best known as a portrayer of
sporting and social events, he virtually invented the modern genre
of sports art and remains its most accomplished and acclaimed
practitioner. Neiman's work is represented in the Art Institute of
Chicago, the Whitney Museum, the Minneapolis Museum of Art, the
Hermitage of St. Petersburg and numerous other museums, public and
private collections worldwide.
In celebration of Mr. Neiman's contributions to modern sports
art, S.T. Dupont introduces the LeRoy Neiman Limited Edition pen.
Exclusive to the United States, the LeRoy Neiman Limited Edition
pen is individually numbered and limited to 400 pieces. Plated
with precious yet resilient palladium, this pen is Chinese
lacquered with three shades of green, symbolizing the tee, the
fairway, and the putting green of the world's most renowned golf
courses. Etched on the cap is a LeRoy Neiman commissioned original
"golfer" and replication of Mr. Neiman's signature. This
pen features an elegantly contoured 18kt nib available in a medium
nib size.
