Johann Philipp Ferdinand Preiss (1882-1943) was probably the most prolific sculptor of the Art Deco period in Germany. He combined ivory, bronze, onyx, and marble to create the most dazzling sculptures of this time period. Preiss apprenticed with his uncle, a master ivory carver, at the age of sixteen, following the death of his parents. He went on to become the most important Art Deco sculptor in Germany and, indeed, one of the most accomplished in Europe during the Nazi period.
