THE RELUCTANT ARTIST, Joe Rice 1918 - 2011 by Dorothy Rice
Shanti Arts, 2015 Limited copies are available from Amazon. Also available as an ebook. Limited signed copies are available from the author. Dorothy Rice has not only written a memorial for her father, she's established herself as a different kind of artist in her own right: a gifted writer who, in eloquent and delicate prose, reveals the joys and costs of being an artist. Visual, emotional, and insightful, this book is a must read. ~ Emily Rapp Black, Author of Poster Child: A Memoir and New York Times bestseller The Still Point of the Turning World Joe Rice tackled diverse modes of art making throughout his long career in the San Francisco Bay Area. The exquisite highs and lows of the practice were central to his life to the exclusion of any effort to find an audience for his work. Such a curious and passionate man deserves our notice. ~ Jim Melchert, Professor of Art Emeritus, University of California, Berkeley JOE RICE (Joseph Flavius Rice) was a prolific and skilled artist who continued to explore artistic expression into his eighties.
