NY Daily News: Famed painter LeRoy Neiman, whose vivid, action-packed brushstrokes brought the world's biggest sporting stars and events to life on canvas, died Wednesday. He was 91.
A cause of death for the longtime New Yorker -- instantly recognizable with a handlebar mustache that stretched from ear to ear and an ever-present cigar -- was not released, but he had battled health problems in recent years.
Hat tip to Jeff Meyerson.

Martin Mull once remarked that LeRoy Neiman is to art what the banjo is to a symphony orchestra.
