About the Item

Carl Rice Embrey "Dry Weeds" (Born 1938) San Antonio Artist Image Size: 12 x 16 Frame Size: 13 x 16.5 Medium: Acrylic Polymer Emulsion on Canvas Dated 1968 " Dry Weeds" Biography Carl Rice Embrey (Born 1938) CARL RICE EMBREY (b.1938) Carl Rice Embrey was born in Hamilton, Texas in 1938. After receiving his MFA from the University of Texas in the mid-1960s, Embrey took on a teaching job at the San Antonio Art Institute, where he remained on the faculty until the school’s closure in 1993. In 1997, San Antonio’s McNay Art Museum organized a one-man retrospective of Embrey’s work, one of a series recognizing five of the state’s most respected artists. At the start of his career in the 1960s, Embrey was essentially a non-representational painter, heavily influenced by the Abstract Expressionist movement dominant at the time. From there, he gradually incorporated representation into his work until arriving at the meticulously realist landscapes and interiors he creates today. Embrey is greatly inspired by his ancestral home in Hamilton, where his family has lived for over a century. The artist typically spends 800 to 2,000 hours on a painting, and remarks: “The thing about art is that one never gets to that illusive truth, which is another word for the perfect painting. I love the challenge of constantly pursuing that truth.
