O.L.SAMUELS PAINTED WOODEN ROOSTER SCUPTURE
O.L. Samuels (1937-2017, American) painted wooden rooster sculpture. O.L. Samuels left home at the age of eight. He worked on Georgia farms and later traveled to New YorkCity to become a prizefighter. In 1962, Samuels returned to the South and worked as a tree surgeon. An accident in 1982 left him severely injured. He became deeply despondent during his slow mental and physical recovery until he remembered that his grandmother, a freed slave, told him for depression one should carve on a wooden spool. Samuels picked up some wood and began to carve, allowing his sense of humor and hisimagination to dictate the often magical figures which emerged from the wood. Size: 19" Tall Condition: Very fine.
