Arts & Crafts Block Prints 2010 Calendar

William S. Rice Arts & Crafts Block Prints Wall Calendar: While teaching art in northern California, woodblock printer William Seltzer Rice (1873 â?? 1963) was thunderstruck by the Japanese woodblock prints he saw at San Francisco's Panama-Pacific International Exhibition. Incorporating elements of this genre with the Arts and Crafts aesthetic, he adopted a new style that blended strong outlines and clean compositions with gently modulated colors. The twelve images in this calendar, among them Sierra Winter, Single Camellias, Windblown Cypress, Grosbeaks, and Sunset Glow Mt. Shasta, are from the book William S. Rice: California Block Prints, by Roberta Rice Treseder (Pomegranate, 2009).
