Roland Paris (Germany 1894-1945) is one of the most recognisable artists of the
Art Deco world, yet his work remains something of an enigma. His art is
caricature-like, bordering on grotesque, and he delivers critical perspectives
on society's downtrodden via jesters and devils. His mediums range from
sculpture and painting to porcelain and wood, including woodcuts and the written
word.
