Description
It’s not clear what this poster was meant to be advertising, but it displays the German style Reiss was instrumental in bringing to New York.
The golden-yellow background of spiraling and wavy lines could almost pass for wallpaper and wainscoting; highlights and shadows are exaggerated, but not yet abstract; and the connoisseur’s pleasure, though unexplained, is evident.
Author — Winold Reiss.
