Member Preview: Outside In: The Art and Craft of William S. Rice

Outside In is a visually rich and instructive display of the work of noted block printmaker William Rice (1873-1963). Rice reduced California landscapes to their color components, carved into printing blocks, and reformed into precise, brilliant and translucent images. Rice is known for his woodblock prints, but such a devoted Arts and Craftsman couldn’t confine himself to one media. Included among the exhibition are oils, watercolors, lithographs, metalwork and all the paraphernalia of block printmaking, which have been made available exclusively for this exhibition by the artist’s family.
