In a first, this anthology presents essays by art historians and
cultural scientists from both sides of the Atlantic to rediscover,
analyze and contextualize the rich and largely unknown art of
Winold Reiss, opening up a new, previously untapped archive of
multicultural Modernism. The German-American artist, who was born
in Karlsruhe in 1886 and arrived in New York in 1913, defies
instant categorization. With his dual background in fine arts and
applied arts he set out to bridge the gulf between "high" and "low"
art introducing a bold use of color to the American art scene and
to interior design. In his portraits Reiss captured the
multi-ethnic diversity of the US. His specific blend of cultural
otherness, primitivism, and depictions of ethnicity challenged the
conventions of the time.
