Early in the 20th century, William S. Rice established his reputation as an artist and teacher in Northern California where he found abundant inspiration in the natural landscape. In the San Francisco Bay Area, he connected with colleagues who embraced the Arts and Crafts movement, which united enthusiastic and diverse groups of craftsmen, artists, architects, writers, economists, educators, and others. They strove for simplicity in their work and turned away from the assembly-line approach of increasing industrialization, endowing labor with dignity by mastering every step in the making of their projects. In this spirit, Rice created his block prints, accomplishing the entire process: designing, then carving the blocks, and finally printing them. The four block prints reproduced here include two of Rice’s famous landscapes and two florals showcasing a softer side of his woodblock printmaking. • Contains two double-sided puzzles for a total of four images to put together• Requires minimal space for piecing together• Easy to travel with• Perfect spur-of-the-moment gift• Our luxury puzzles are crafted with attention to every detail• High-quality 250-GSM matte art paper for superior color, crisp details, and no glare• Produced using thick recycled paper board• Includes insert of the art• Exclusive selection of art from museums and artists around the worldBox size: 5.25 x 7.625 x 2.125 in.Puzzle size: 8.25 x 11 in.
