About the Art: POST SEASON FOOTBALL CLASSIC 1985
Serigraph
Image size 26 7/8" x 38" (68.26 x 96.52 cm)
A limited edition of 600 numbered impressions; 100AP, 18PP, 100HC, signed by the artist This is a scene embodying the excitement and action of pro football. From Neiman's position on the field, he was able to directly observe and experience the play seen in this image. His vivid display of the clashing bodies has added the auditory quality of being in the arena. According to the artist, this picture consists of five distinct planes: 1) The grouping of the players and their entangled bodies 2) The referee in his stripes charging towards the players 3) The players' bench with their coach seen in his signature sweater 4) The stadium itself, capped with tented canopies, which create a feeling and look of a medieval jousting match 5) The sky itself- overcast, low and as ominous looking as the players themselves In this classic Neiman football image the viewer can fell that he is in the middle of the action, and the decision to either run with the ball or pass is the viewers' as well. His experience becomes totally elasticized by the mystery of not knowing what the quarterback will do next.
