Featured in this lot are two Winold Reiss (1886-1953) framed prints circa mid to late 1900s. 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 1920 and 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. The first print is titled, "Mountain Flower - Blackfeet Indian Maiden" and shows a Native American woman sitting on the ground in colorful clothing as she looks towards the viewers right. The second print is titled, "Dancing Boy - Blackfeet Indian" and shows a young Blackfeet boy in a rawhide shirt and pants wearing two feathers in his braided hair. Both prints and both frames show good condition overall with slight wear present and no signs of major damage. The visible prints measure 17 1/8" L x 12 1/8" W, while the entire piece measures 19 1/4" L x 14 1/4" W x 1 1/8" D. They have a collective weight of 5 pounds.
