WILLIAM S. RICE ART AND LIFE

William S. Rice Art and Life is the first retrospective devoted to the artist. Author Ellen Treseder Sexauer, Rices granddaughter, presents a synthesis of scholarly and uniquely personal perspectives, examining the artists development, artistic methods, and private life. Insightful passages from interviews with Roberta Rice Treseder, Rices daughter, and illuminating excerpts from Rices own published articles and books provide an intimate portrait of Rice as artist, naturalist, teacher, writer, and father. More than 300 illustrations convey the mastery of Rices work and the breadth of his achievements.
