Description
In this tranquil scene, idle fishing boats are anchored in the waters of San Francisco Bay. The Anchorage–Fleet at Rest highlights Rice’s design sensibilities. The image is all linework and the viewer is drawn into the scene by the repetition of diagonals and the contrast of light against dark. Lines create the sturdy fishing boats, their sails, and their reflections cast upon on the glassy surfaced water.
