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. Print size - 18" x 25.25", unframed, mint condition, pencil signed by Otto Neals Image size - 12.75" x 20" Edition size - 90, plus proofs Year published - 2004 Printer - JK Fine Art Editions Co. NJ 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”.

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.”

GARDEN ROMANCE by the artist James Denmark is an original hand drawn, limited edition lithograph(not a photo reproduction or digital print) printed on archival Somerset paper using traditional hand lithography techniques.

Okiie Hashimoto Color woodblock, 1952. "Girl with Irises"
Located in Phoenix, AZ
Okiie Hashimoto Color woodblock, 1952. "Girl with Irises" A beautiful composition by Japanese print artist Okiie Hashimoto (1899-1993). This original color woodblock is in excellent condition and measures 15"h x 21 1/4"w. The work is framed nicely and measures 25 3/4"h x 30 3/4"w framed. Pencil signed and dated ‘52 lower right. Titled “Girl with Irises” (Awame To Shojo). Okiie Hashimoto (1899–1993) was a Japanese artist and educator. Best known as part of the postwar revival of the sosaku-hanga (Creative Prints) movement. In 1936, he began creating woodblock prints after he attended a workshop organized by prominent sosaku-hanga artist Un’ichi Hiratsuka and began creating woodblock prints. In his prolific career in printmaking, he was known for an innovative use of simplified and decorative forms that exude a modern feel. In his lifetime, his achievements were rewarded with his appointment to the president of the Japan Print Association (1974–79) and his invitations to the prestigious international prints biennales in Tokyo (1957, 1970, 1972) and Lugano (1972). In 1921, he began a three-year teacher's training course at the Tokyo School of Fine Arts (the present Tokyo University of the Arts), graduating in 1924. In Tokyo, aside from the art teacher education courses, he received training in a wide variety of practices, including yoga (Western-style painting), nihonga (Japanese-style painting), sculpture, design, etching and lithography, crafts, and calligraphy. In 1955, he began to pursue a career as an artist full-time. As for influences, Hashimoto cited Hiratsuka, Henri Matisse, André Derain, Maurice de Vlaminck, Kanji Maeda, and Masao Maeda...
