Florence Neal

Florence Neal was professionally active from 1935 to 1953. Neal’s known output is closely associated with the extensive documentation project titled "10 index of american designs," suggesting a focus on highly detailed, functional documentation of historical objects rather than traditional fine art painting.

The documented works emphasize accurate rendering of American decorative arts and period furniture. Five examples of these detailed design studies are cataloged, including the specific renderings American Chair, Chest of Drawers, Easy Chair, Tea Table, and the Windsor Chair. These precise depictions establish Neal’s role in creating verifiable historical records of decorative arts.

Works by Florence Neal are represented in the permanent collection of the National Gallery of Art. These technical renderings serve as museum-quality documentation of 20th-century preservation efforts. Today, the descriptive artwork of Florence Neal is often available as downloadable artwork, ensuring these valuable historical reference materials remain widely accessible.
