The Art of Winold Reiss brings to light the creative and
forward-thinking work of this German-born artist. Winold Reiss
(1886-1953) arrived in New York in 1913, the year of the
ground-breaking Armory Show. The exhibition shook the American art
scene to its core and ushered in a radically new artistic
sensibility, whilst Reiss's exuberant, dynamic designs anticipated
the American passion for the new European avant-garde art. Steeped
in a German aesthetic, Reiss brought his unique brand of modernism
to the United States, and established a reputation and material
presence in New York's cultural and commercial landscape. This
vibrantly illustrated volume showcases over 140 examples of Reiss's
work, ranging from his early graphic creations for advertisements,
menus, packaging, calendars, and books, to his architectural and
interior designs. Reiss's portraits of African Americans include
leading figures of the Harlem Renaissance as well as members of the
professional and working classes. Essays by leading specialists
provide an overview of Reiss's life and artistic achievements,
examining his interior designs of iconic New York restaurants and
bars, his portraits and his decorative arts, including his work in
new 20th-century materials.
