Description
William Seltzer Rice found endless inspiration in nature, creating a vast
number of watercolors, drawings, photographs, etchings, and block prints. He arrived in Northern California in 1900, the
early days of the region’s Arts and Crafts movement. Rice taught in several schools,
including the California College of Arts and Crafts in Oakland—a center for the
movement. As a medium, block printing suited the Arts and Crafts ethos of making
artwork available to a wide audience at modest cost. Being a skilled craftsman as well
as an artist, Rice designed, carved, and printed all the blocks himself.
