About the Item
FLOWERS is an original limited edition woodcut print by the African-American painter and sculptor, Otto Neals. The woodblock used to print FLOWERS was hand carved by Otto Neals and printed in two colors - burnt orange and black on Rives BFK printmaking paper, 100% acid free, enhanced with hand colored accents. FLOWERS portrays an exotic portrait of a young black woman posed in profile with long dark wavy hair, looking downward wearing a lively floral print dress and large silver hoop earrings. In FLOWERS, the natural texture impression from the wood printing block creates a dramatic, undulating woodgrain background; a single yellow daisy flower in front of the woman and elongated dark green leaves behind her add visual interest to this captivating, contemplative feminine portrait by Otto Neals.

Otto Neals is an African-American painter and sculptor originally from South Carolina. Before he was five years old, his family left the South and settled in Brooklyn, New York, where he still resides. All of Mr. Neals’ schooling was in Brooklyn, where he studied commercial art at George Westinghouse Vocational High School.
Neals describes himself as a self-taught artist although he studied briefly at the Brooklyn Museum Art School with Isaac Soyer and printmaking at the Bob Blackburn Printmaking Workshop with Krishna Reddy, Mohammed Khalil and Roberto DeLomanica. He was introduced to stone carving by sculptor Vivian Schuyler Key, who presented him with his first set of stone carving tools.
The Prospect Park Alliance and Ezra Jack Keats Foundation commissioned him in 1995 to create a bronze sculpture entitled “Peter and Willie”, based on the works of author and illustrator Keats. For this work, which is located in the “Imagination Playground” in Prospect Park, Mr. Neals was presented with the New York City Arts Commission’s “Award for Excellence in Design”.

Neals’ art work has been exhibited at the Columbia Museum of Art, the Huntsville Museum of Art, The Ghana National Museum, The Library of Congress, The Smithsonian Institution, and the collections of Congressman John Lewis, jazz musician Randy Weston, actor/singer Harry Bellafonte and Oprah Winfrey.
About his art, Neals said, “My talent as an artist comes directly from my ancestors. I am merely a receiver, an instrument for receiving some of the energies that permeate our entire universe and I give thanks for having been chosen to absorb those artistic forces.”
