William S. Rice: Art And Life

by William S. Rice, Ellen Treseder Sexauer

William S. Rice (1873 1963), one of the most gifted block print artists of the American Arts and Crafts Movement, created humble yet stunning images that were in harmony with the aesthetics of the Craftsman style. A masterful watercolorist, distinguished teacher, and avid outdoorsman as well, Rice found enduring inspiration in nature from sweeping vistas to single blossoms. William S. Art and Life is the first retrospective devoted to the artist, an intimate portrait of Rice as artist, naturalist, teacher, writer, and father. Over 300 illustrations convey the mastery of Rice s work and the breadth of his achievements.
