Title:	Kansas Dust Storm
Artist:	Rice, Fred 'Frederick Rice' (United States, Born 1921)
Date:	c. 1945
Medium:	Original Aquatint and Etching
Note:	Fred Rice: "Kansas Dust Storm" is both a compelling and mysterious work of original art. Next to no biographical information appears to exist concerning the career of Fred (or Frederick) Rice. Yet the Cleveland Museum of Art lists another impression of "Kansas Dust Storm" in its permanent collection (Accession# 1949.66). Their impression was gifted by the Print Club of Cleveland in 1949. The etcher is listed as Fred I. Rice, an American born in 1921.
	It is therefore possible that Fred Rice had some connection with the "Print Club of Cleveland" during the 1940's. In any case, this original aquatint is a very accomplished work of art and a strong image of the Kansas 'Dust Bowl' during the years surrounding the Depression era.
