[DOWNLOAD] Arts & Crafts Block Prints: Wm. S. Rice 2020 Wall Calendar by William S. Rice ~ Book PDF Kindle ePub Free

William Seltzer Rice (American, 1873–1963) was twenty-seven when he came to California in 1900 to teach art in the Stockton public schools. He traveled, sketched, and painted throughout the state and familiarized himself with its history, flora, and fauna. In 1910 he moved to the San Francisco Bay Area, continuing his career in teaching and taking an active part in the Arts and Crafts movement. He favored block printing as a means of bringing original art within reach of many people. Each color print required several blocks, of either wood or linoleum, all of which he designed, carved, and printed himself. Rice’s elegant yet humble prints continue to be exhibited widely and are in many museum collections worldwide.
