The piece of art that I chose to write about was, Basketball Superstars by Leroy Neiman, painted from November eleventh to December seventh. This painting was featured in the Hastings Gallery.
In this painting I see a lot of the all time greatest basketball players. I see eleven time NBA Champion Bill Russell, the only player to ever score one hundred points in a game, Wilt Chamberlain. I also see Willis Reed, who I think is Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Julius Erving also known as Dr. J, and Oscar Robinson. The rest of the players in the painting I do not know. This painting was painted in a way that allowed the viewer to see the individual strokes made by the artist.
When I first saw this painting my focus immediately went to the three main players
