Anne Estelle Rice: An American Colourist?

About Anne Estelle Rice: An American Colourist?

Complementing Rice's artwork on display in Scottish Colourists: Radical Perspectives, Moore's talk explores Rice's life in Paris, her artistic practice, and her complex romantic relationship with JD Fergusson. Her research for an upcoming monograph on Rice has revealed a radical woman artist whose work has often been misunderstood, undervalued, or forgotten.

Priced as exhibition tickets. Ticket price includes entry to the talk and The Scottish Colourists: Radical Perspectives exhibition.
