The Davison Art Center's print collection is considered to be one of the two or three most important at an American university. It includes fine impressions of works by Dürer and Northern and Italian Renaissance artists; Rembrandt and his contemporaries; Goya; nineteenth-century French painter-printmakers such as Manet and Millet; and American modern and contemporary artists, especially Jim Dine. There are also about 600 Japanese ukiyo-e woodcuts and strong holdings illuminating the early histories of mezzotint and lithography.
The collection includes multiple states of many prints, providing a historical window into printmaking techniques and artists' creative processes. More images of DAC prints may be seen on our pages of images for courses and of systematic groups of images from the collection, and on these area survey pages:
