Expanding Frontiers The Jack & Susy Wadsworth Collection of Postwar Japanese Prints

By Anne Rose and Akiko Walley Kitagawa

In 2012, Jack and Susy Wadsworth donated 157 modern and contemporary Japanese prints to the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art at the University of Oregon. This remarkable collection, featuring woodblocks, intaglios, lithographs, screenprints, and mixed-media works by seventy-eight Japanese and Western artists, significantly augments the museum's capacity to teach about Japanese graphic art from the late twentieth- and early twenty-first-centuries. The collection showcases contemporary Japanese artists not just as inheritors of the much-celebrated Edo-period (1615-1868) woodblock tradition, but as sophisticated international masters of various printmaking techniques.
