Otto Neals Art

b. 1930

Otto Neals is an African-American painter and sculptor, originally from South Carolina, USA. When he was four years old, his family left the South and settled in Brooklyn, New York, where he still resides. All of Neals’s schooling was in Brooklyn, where he studied commercial art at George Westinghouse Vocational High School. He 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, titled, 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. His artwork 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.

A 1928 Modernist Woodcut, Self-Portrait of Notable Chicago Modernist Emil Armin

By Emil Armin

Located in Chicago, IL

A 1928 woodcut on paper of a self-portrait of notable Chicago Modernist artist, Emil Armin. Artwork size: 10 1/2" x 8". Archivally matted to: 12 1/2" x 14 1/2. Signed, titled and numbered in pencil. Edition 7/30. Emil Armin was born in Radautz, Austria in 1883. By the age of 10, Armin was orphaned and was raised by his older siblings. He supported himself by working in restaurants and drew in his spare time. In 1905, at the age of 21, Armin immigrated to Chicago. He began studying at the Art Institute of Chicago in 1907, but financial difficulties forced him to start and stop a number of times, finally graduating in 1920. He studied with George Bellows and Randall Davey. Armin was an integral part of Chicago’s 57th Street Art Colony and exhibited in both the more avant-garde Chicago No-Jury Society Shows, as well as the more formal and conventional Chicago Society of Artists Exhibitions, the Chicago Renaissance Society and Art Institute of Chicago (1922-1949) exhibitions. He taught at Hull House...

1959 ‘Card Players’, Kenneth Miller Adams American Regionalist Figurative Art

By Kenneth Miller Adams

Located in Denver, CO

An expressive mid-century lithograph titled “Card Players” (1959) by American artist Kenneth Miller Adams. This hand-signed print depicts a small group of men gathered around a table engaged in a card game. Adams captures the quiet tension and camaraderie of the scene through strong draftsmanship, expressive line work, and carefully structured composition. The intimate interior setting reflects themes common to American Regionalist and social realist imagery of the mid-20th century. Printed in a limited edition of 100 impressions, this example is numbered 16/100 and signed by the artist. The work is professionally framed in a clean black archival frame, presenting the composition beautifully for display.
