About the Item
Signed and dated "55" in pencil.
Otto Neumann (1895-1975) was a German Expressionist painter and printmaker. His monotypes evolved from sharp, angular, black and whites to late abstract prints in a variety of colors. Neumann lived through revolutionary changes in the art world of prewar and postwar Germany. He was a prolific artist in Germany during a time of the country’s unprecedented academic and intellectual growth. His early work shows the influence of both French masters like Cezanne and the contemporary style that was then being developed by German Expressionists like Kirchner. A master printmaker, Neumann was also inspired by the works of Albrecht Durer, whose allegorical subject-matter and unmatched drawing technique Neumann would emulate throughout his career. A lifetime preoccupation with the human figure informs his work, with frieze-like human figures recalling ancient Greek art, and sculptural forms reminiscent of his peers, Henry Moore and Picasso.
Otto Neumann was born in Heidelberg, Germany. He began his studies at the State Academy of Fine Arts Karlsruhe and then went on to complete his training at the Academie der Bildenden Kunste.
Neumann’s work is in the collections of Art Institute of Chicago, IL; Museum of Modern Art; NY, Portland Art Museum, OR; Gibbes Museum of Art, SC; Kurpfälzisches Museum, Heidelberg, among many others. A retrospective exhibition at The Tampa Museum of Art; FL, traveled the United States and Germany.

Otto Neumann
Otto Neumann was an Expressionist painter and printmaker born in Heidelberg, Germany. He was one of the most versatile and original artists of the 20th century.
Neumann created works of stark brutality, sumptuous beauty, and sleek simplicity in an array of media oils, watercolors, chalk, graphite, lithographs, woodcuts and monotypes, among others. He lived through revolutionary changes in the art world of prewar and postwar Germany, and drew inspiration from his contemporaries and predecessors, as well as from sources literary and deeply personal. Today, Neumann is best known for his subtly hued woodcuts and monotypes of human, animal and abstract forms created in the last 25 years of his life.
Neumann's works are in the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, Detroit Institute of Art, Goethe-Institut, Museum of Modern Art (New York), Portland Art Museum, Rose Art Museum, Tampa Museum of Art, Gibbes Museum of Fine Art and the Virginia Museum of Fine Art.
