Olympic Swimmers 1976

LeRoy Neiman’s “Olympic Swimmers” is a vibrant depiction of athleticism and competition. Created in 1976, the painting captures the energy of a swimming race with its bold strokes and dynamic composition. Neiman was renowned for his use of bright colors and expressive lines, often depicting sports figures in action. The piece reflects his signature style, with the swimmers’ bodies rendered in a dynamic, almost abstract fashion. The yellow lane lines and the rippling water create a sense of speed and movement, capturing the intensity of the event.
