LeRoy Neiman (1921-2012) was known for his paintings and prints of musicians, athletes, and sporting events. He demonstrated his drawing skills as a child and, while he was drafted in 1`942 as a cook in WWII, after the war while still in the army, he designed and painted sets for Red Cross shows in Germany.
