Winold Reiss (1886-1953) was a uniquely gifted artist and designer of the twentieth century, a bold pioneer whose work included a rich variety of portraits, distinctive interiors, and a multitude of cutting-edge graphic designs that lifted the quality of color and black-
and-white design in America.The art of this German immigrant is still being discovered
today by American critics and patrons, but his public popularity began during the 1920s when his portraits of the Blackfeet and Blood Indians of the American Northwest and Canada, many of which illustrated the Great Northern Railway calendars. Reiss believed that by picturing the honor, beauty, and dignity of all peoples, his art could help break down racial prejudices. (from Winhold Reiss.org)
