LeRoy Neiman’s limited edition serigraph, “Jaguar Family,” continues his portrayals of the cat family. His fascination with the Jaguar can also be attributed to the fact that the Jaguar is a vanishing species, although it can still be seen in parts of Central and South America, and Texas and Arizona in the United States. The strength and grace which pervade so many of Neiman’s subjects are characteristics which are also embodied in the Jaguar.

In this image Neiman has captured one of the handsomest members of the cat family, always recognized by its elegant markings. Here, the jaguar’s rich coat, usually yellow and tawny, marked with a chain of black spots and rosettes on its back, is richly depicted. Although frequently confused with the Leopard, the Jaguar can be distinguished from it by its larger head and more robust form.

Although the big cats are known for their ferocity, the male Jaguar is a highly family-oriented animal. The male is considered a permanent member of the family, a good husband, and is always ready to protect his young ones.

This image representing domestic harmony and nature at its best, represents for the artist a means of returning to a less complicated world. Although Neiman himself is always in motion, this picture is an attempt to remove himself from the rigors and demands of contemporary life and is a reflection of not only the serene state of the animal kingdom, but also of the artist.

'Bethesda Fountain' by leRoy Neiman

Bethesda Fountain rises high above Bethesda Terrace, looking over the hundreds of visitors that come every day to enjoy the view of the Lake and relax at the “heart” of the Central Park. The sculpture that tops it, Angel of Waters, was designed by Emma Stebbins in 1873 and is one of the most recognizable icons in the entire park. Stebbins designed the statue to celebrate the new Croton Aqueduct which not only fed the fountain, but also supplied fresh water to a city that had long been plagued by infectious disease caused by an unsafe water supply.

Besides being a favorite destination of park visitors in search of a cool place to spend a summer afternoon, the Fountain is also a celebrity in its own right. It has probably appeared in more movies than any other monument in he park, exuding a timeless romantic charm that makes it a perfect backdrop for cinematographers. Literally dozens of well known movie scenes have been shot here including: Ransom, One Fine Day, Tommy Boy, Bullets over Broadway and Hair. In fact in the 1973 feature “Godspell,” the fountain becomes a character in its own right, with the newly recruited disciples splashing joyously around in the pool. It is a fantasy that has surely occurred of generations of summertime visitors.
