Offered here is a 37x 40 inch framed display of an acrylic serigraph of Mickey Mantle done by the renowned sports artist LeRoy Neiman. This highly stylized painting features Mantle at the end of his trademark swing, getting ready to charge down the first base line.
The Neiman style is known for its over-the-top colors and protruding textures. They evoke a certain excitement about the way we view sports outside of its natural content. A player like Mantle transcended baseball, and Neiman perfectly captures his out-of-this-world stardom.
