Canadian Prints Donated

Gary Menges, Special Collections and Preservation

Professor Emeritus W.A. Douglas Jackson, founding director of the UW's Canadian Studies Center, has donated thirteen Canadian prints by native artists to the UW Libraries. The prints represent contemporary interpretations of traditional themes found in the art of the Haida and other Northwest Coast tribes.

The framed prints represent the work of nine artists: Patrick Amos; Claude Davidson; Stan Greeve; Tony Hunt, Jr.; Clarence Mills; Susan Point; Bill Reid; Joseph M.Wilson and Cecil Youngfox. Eleven of the prints are displayed in the reference area of the Special Collections and Preservation Division. The other two are hung in the Libraries administrative offices.
