Leroy Neiman Unveils Ryder Cup Print; Pentagon Inquires About Possible Use On Detainees

Gary Van Sickle at golf.com's press tent blog tracks down the image on Neiman's web site and offers his thoughts on this latest masterwork.

Personally I think you can tack that baby to any wall in the Guantanamo Bay prison, throw on Celine Dion's greatest hits, and no one will ever ask about waterboarding ever again.

i'm surprised to learn that neiman is not only still alive, but working. although maybe working isn't really an accurate term given the product.

My rule is, "If I can reproduce it, it ain't art." I think I might have a shot at this one.

Just when I thought LN could not get any worse. It is now so obvious that he peaked in 84 with his Burger King placemat series.

Nieman was my first favorite 'modern sports impressionist' artist, back in the day, but he's long been surpassed by the golf artistry of Mark King, Michael Miller, and Josh Smith.

LN was over for me in the late 80's when I learned that he paints himself into the crowd. Where's Waldo?

Top Secret! Baby!

I think Leroy is channeling my five year old son.

Leroy - much like lawyers carrying solid gold coke spoons, your time has passed.
