Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
This volume brings to light the creative and forwardthinking work of Germanborn artist Winold Reiss (18861953), who arrived in New York in 1913, the year of the groundbreaking Armory Show. The exhibition shook the American art scene to its core and ushered in a radically new artistic sensibility, whilst Reisss exuberant, dynamic designs anticipated the American passion for this new European avantgarde 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 Yorks cultural and commercial landscape.This vibrantly illustrated volume showcases over 140 examples of Reisss work, ranging from his early graphic creations for adverts, menus, packaging, calendars, and books, to his architecture and interior designs for clients including the Busy Lady Baking Company, Caf Rumpelmayer, Crillon Restaurant, Longchamps restaurants, and the Music Pavilion faade at the 1939 Worlds Fair. 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 Marilyn Satin Kushner, Debra Schmidt Bach, C. Ford Peatross, and Jeffrey C. Stewart provide an overview of Reisss life and artistic achievements, examining his interior designs of iconic New York restaurants and bars, his portraits of African Americans and his decorative arts including his work in new twentiethcentury materials.
