    LEROY NEIMAN: FEMLIN

    LEROY NEIMAN: FEMLIN


    When LeRoy Neiman and Hugh Hefner met in the early 1950s, while
    Neiman was doing women’s high fashion drawings and Hefner was
    a copywriter in a Chicago department store, neither could have
    predicted that a twelve-inch woman called Femlin was waiting in the
    wings. But Femlin is mischievous. She’s spunky. And she knows how
    to strike while the iron is hot.

    Fifty years later, Femlin is still going strong and sassy. Neiman has
    drawn her for every issue of Playboy for the last half-century, showing
    her at play, at sport, and at her ease. Wearing her trademark heels,
    stockings, and gloves—and not much else—Femlin has become a
    beloved icon of Playboy . . . and a celebrity in her own right.

    M Press is honored to present fifty years of LeRoy Neiman’s Femlin


    drawings, some of which have never before seen in print. With text
    and images by Neiman, and an afterword by Playboy founder and
    publisher Hugh M. Hefner, the Femlin is shown in all her flattering
    historical light. As she says “It’s about time I got my own book!”

    Author bio
    World-renowned artist LeRoy Neiman broke the barrier between fine art and popular art with his brilliantly
    colored, energetic depictions of life in America and abroad. Best known for his paintings of sporting
    events and cultural life in the twentieth century, Neiman is one of the most popular artists living and
    working today. He has published fourteen books of his work, won numerous awards, and is included in
    collections of some of the nation’s top museums, all while maintaining his status as a key artistic
    contributor to Playboy magazine since its earliest days.

    Founded in 1953 by Hugh M. Hefner, Playboy magazine has been a defining force in popular culture in
    print, television, and entertainment for more than fifty years. Playboy continues to be the world’s best-
    selling men’s monthly magazine.
