Turner Print Museum Receives Gift of Original Winslow Homer Prints
Robert and Sharon Ross, professors emeriti of the departments of political science and mathematics, respectively, have made a gift of original Winslow Homer prints to the Janet Turner Print Museum at California State University, Chico. The gift includes a collection of wood-engraving illustrations, an original woodblock for his print “Cutting a Figure” and three original etchings, also by Homer. In addition, there is an etching by Renoir, “Sur la plage,” and an etching by Pisarro, “Vachère au bord de l’eau.”
“The donation of the Ross’s Winslow Homer collection of prints and engravings is an extraordinary addition to The Turner, and a generous example of how, in retirement, Bob and Sharon Ross continue to make a difference for our students and our community,” notes Joel Zimbelman, interim dean of the College of Humanities and Fine Arts. “The collection of 19th century engravings puts The Turner in the company of other elite institutions that have substantial collections of Homer’s print treasures: The Metropolitan Museum, Duke, Dartmouth and the National Gallery in Washington, D.C. Donations such as this gift add greatly to The Turner’s rich and diverse fine print holdings. The collection in The Turner will be named in honor of the Rosses, and we look forward to sharing it with the community in an exhibit later this year.”
“The Robert R. and Sharon R. Ross Collection of Winslow Homer Prints is a valuable contribution to The Turner Collection and the University,” said Catherine Sullivan, curator of the Janet Turner Print Museum. “It is a well-thought out, -documented and -focused collection. American artist Winslow Homer is well known as a painter and printmaker, and he was not fully represented in The Turner Print Collection until now.”
The complete news release is available online.
