The Psychedelic World Of LeRoy Neiman Dept.

Foam-O-Graph© Beauty With Utility!

You'll know LeRoy Neiman for two things: being the inspiration for iconic Mad Magazine mascot Alfred E. Neiman, and painting the world's most Artistic paintings! But few know his passion for obscure 'sixties psychedelic albums!

"Obscure 'sixties psychedelic albums? Why, they're my passion!" the Baron of Brushwork said yesterday from his swank bachelor love nest high atop the Veeblefetzer Feed Co. grain silo at Fort Despair, ND. "It all started back in the 'sixties at Hef Hughner's legendary parties at the Playboy Mansion! The most beautiful women in the world! Dressed as rabbits! Because of course they were! Everybody totally tripped out on lab quality acid Timmy Leary got from the C.I.A.! The finest domestic Champagne on tap! Hef used to get all these albums sent to him, and I'd be inspired by the covers to paint some of my most challenging and collectible work! Gee, but they were swell times. Whatever happened to the good times? Haw! I guess we had 'em all! Tough shit on Millennials! Have a cigar!"

This week's pointless eyestraining conundrum is - note bold brushwork on painting behind th' Great Artiste? Note vibrant palette? If you can name album what served as inspiration, leave clew in comments! Don't name album/artiste! Hint, Clint! Allude, dude!

Here's another clue for you all [left - Ed.]!

  8. Subscribers desirous of assuaging their curiosity can go here for full elucidation! (It's possibly the earliest example of a side-long composition in rock/pop).
