Original Art Painting by the legendary LeRoy Neiman, of the also-legendary jazz musician Horace Silver. It has been signed by both at the bottom right corner, and the image area within the matte measures approximately 15" by 19". It comes from Horace Silver's estate, so it likely has not been on the market before. Horace Silver was a pianist, composer, and bandleader, who was without question one of the most popular and influential jazz musicians of the 1950's and 1960's, and one of the key figures of the hard bop era. He formed the very influential group The Jazz Messengers and is well-known for the jazz standard "Song For My Father", as well as many other classic songs including "Señor Blues", "Nica's Dream", "The Preacher", "Lonely Woman", and "Peace". Neiman has long been considered by many as the most recognizable, most popular, and most successful American artist of the post-war era. This is a stunning painted masterpiece that inhabits both the worlds of illustration art and fine art and is just a brilliant example of Neiman's incredible artistic genius. This is a pretty rare opportunity, so don't miss out on a chance to get an amazing piece that would look outstanding framed, and would be a key piece in any collection.
