“The paintings of Dorothy Rice reveal her extraordinary talent and experience. The Southwest Museum is most fortunate to be able to show her suite of paintings; 'Serenata Mexicana'. Her work is monumental yet fragile, as is most true and great art. She is an esthetic bridge builder, who has built an artistic bridge of understanding to the people of Mexico and their way of life ” - Carl S. Dentzel, Director, Southwest Museum (now Autry Museum)
