Think back to those amazingly languid summers of your childhood, when in the heat of the day you followed the game on a distant radio, watched the pros on the living-room TV, or cheered your local heroes at the hometown ballpark. Ernest Thayer's classic tale of baseball hopes and dreams comes to life like never before with LeRoy Neiman's lush, meticulously detailed charcoal drawings and an original introduction by Yankees manager Joe Torre, considered by many to be the greatest baseball manager of all time. These illustrations -- a rare departure from the vibrantly colored paintings that made LeRoy Neiman famous -- evoke Mudville's beloved Casey in images that are muscular, immediate, and unmistakably American.
A volume of matchless artistry, this edition of Casey at the Bat is a treasure for all generations.

Ecco

The memoir of one of the most recognizable contemporary artists in the world, a book filled with the biggest celebrities in twentieth-century sport, art, sexy dames, music, film, and more, by LeRoy Neiman, who was a principle contributor to Playboy for years, who covered the Playboy beat “Man at His Leisure,” who was chronicler and confidant of Muhammad Ali (and artist to all of sports!), and who was hailed as the man who “defined a century in vibrating color.”

LeRoy Neiman was arguably the world’s most recognizable contemporary artist until his passing in June 2012. He broke the barrier between fine art and popular art while creating indelible images that helped define the twentieth century. But it is the life he lived and the people he knew that make the memoir of this scrappy Depression-era kid who became a swashbuckling bon vivant with the famous mustache such a marvelous historical canvas. Chronicler and confidant of Muhammad Ali, Neiman also traveled with Sinatra, cavorted with Dalí and Warhol, watched afternoon soaps with Dizzy Gillespie, played in Sly Stallone’s Rocky movies, exchanged quips with Nixon, smoked cigars with Castro, and experienced the terrorist attacks at the Munich Olympics alongside Peter Jennings, Howard Cosell, and Jim McKay. And then there was his half-century relationship with Hugh Hefner as principle artistic contributor to Playboy, setting up studios in London and Paris to cover his Playboy beat, “Man at His Leisure,” and his creation of the Femlin, the iconic Playboy nymphette. With his life’s work, and in All Told, LeRoy Neiman captured sports heroes, movie stars, presidents, dishwashers, jet-setters, jockeys, and more than a few Bunnies at the Playboy Mansion—a panoramic record of society like no other.

Although LeRoy Neiman calls his book WINNERS, he is quick to point out that he is presenting an egalitarian study of sports. For more than a quarter of a century Neiman has worked as an artist on the sports scene, portraying losers as well as winners - the important thing was to capture players of the game and to document their incredible quality of what Ernest Hemingway referred to as 'grace under pressure.' The images that the artist has collected for this book, over 1,000 of them with more than 500 depicting particular personalities In the sports world, were selected from existing originals owned by Neiman or from collections he knows, and from ektachromes of works scattered all over the world.

History & Criticism

Harry N. Abrams

This new book by one of America's most prolific and popular artists records in vibrant, colorful images the animals, landscapes, and people LeRoy Neiman encountered during his African "painting safari." For the first time in book form, Neiman depicts life in the wild with the same curiosity and intensity that he has brought to sports and social subjects over the past half-century. His brilliant palette and candid prose bring into sharp relief the mannerisms and attitudes of the wild, independent creatures he encountered while in Africa. In sections devoted to the "Big Five" (Lion, Elephant, Cape Buffalo, Rhinoceros, and Leopard) and "Animal Land" (Zebra, Giraffe, Baboon, Monkey, Warthog, Cheetah, Wildebeest, and Hippopotamus), readers are introduced to these animals in their natural habitat as they move, meet, graze, hunt - or sometimes just rest in the tall grass. Afterward, readers visit the artist's camp and "Maasai Land," where the elegant men and women of this region pose and dance for him in their proud array.
