Fritz Winold Reiss (born March 19, 1857 in Düsseldorf ; † February 27, 1915 in Kirchzarten ) was a German lithographer , illustrator , graphic artist and painter .

Life

Reiss studied at the Düsseldorf Art Academy with Karl Müller and Heinrich Lauenstein . Then worked in his father's lithographic company in Düsseldorf until 1878. From 1878 he lived in Stuttgart until 1882 , then in Lahr (1882 to 1886), Karlsruhe (1886 to 1888), Leipzig (1888 to 1892), then again in Stuttgart and from 1899 to 1908 in Freiburg im Breisgau at Zasiusstraße 70.

Reiss was a member of the artists' association " Breisgauer Fünfer " founded in 1899 , of which Hermann Dischler was director. He lived in Kirchzarten from 1908, where he joined the painters of the so-called Gutach Artists' Colony . In his drawings, watercolors and paintings he captured the country, the people and the customs of the Black Forest in a narrative and humorous way, not without foregoing social criticism. He illustrated numerous magazines, novels and books, including picture books for children or youth literature and designed postcards and ceramics.

The German-American painter Winold Reiss was his second son.
