Provenance: The estate of the artist, Hamilton, Texas
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, the 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, Embrey was mostly a non-representational painter, heavily influenced by the Abstract Expressionist movement.
