For your consideration is this original, 1946 Winold Reiss calendar from the Great Northern Railway. F. Winold Reiss was a German-born American artist and graphic designer. In 1920, he went West for the first time, working for months on the Blackfeet Reservation in Montana, painting 36 portraits of tribal members. Over the years Reiss painted more than 250 works depicting Native Americans. These paintings by Reiss became known more widely beginning in the 1920s to the 1950s, when the Great Northern Railway commissioned Reiss to do paintings of the Blackfeet which were then distributed widely as lithographed reproductions on Great Northern calendars. In 1931, and 1934-37, Reiss organized a summer art school, also referred to as an artists' colony near Glacier National Park. This calendar features Winold Reiss's painting of "Dancing Boy", a Blackfeet tribe member in Glacier National Park. The calendar has been used and only features December, 1947. The calendar shows good condition overall with slight wear present from its age and use over the years, but no major signs of damage is noted. It measures 33 1/8" L x 16" W adn weighs 12 ounces.
