![]() ![]() This project would not have been possible without the hard work and enthusiasm of the Museum's wonderful staff, especially our Curatorial, Education, and Digital Media teams. We are grateful to the Jansmas for supporting this forward-focused vision, and to donors to our Fund for Excellence in Teaching and Technology. The expansion of GRAM's Digital Media Program seeks to broaden exposure to our history, our collections, our scholarship, and our educational outreach-so that the world can benefit from our mission to inspire discovery, enjoyment, and learning about art. In the video interview included here, you can “meet” them and see this commitment first hand. The passion they share for art, history, and spirituality is contagious, and their gifts to the Museum have resonating effects for those who have been able to see these prints first-hand. We are indebted to the Jansma Family, especially Cate and Sid Jansma, Jr., for their generosity, vision, and faith. If they are not hanging on the walls of our museum or on loan to another, I encourage you to view the works in the tranquility of the Jansma Family Works on Paper Study, open to the public several days a week and by appointment. Works on paper are among the most fragile of the Museum's treasures, so as a result they are on view in our galleries only periodically. Beyond that, I invite you to the Grand Rapids Art Museum to enjoy the actual prints. We have also created an iPad app, which you can download here. I encourage you to dive into the high-resolution images presented here, enjoy the curator's commentary, and explore the supplemental information that illuminates the art and history of these treasures. The recent gift of twenty-four works forming the complete series The Flight into Egypt (1750-1753) by Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo completes one of the Jansma Family’s goals-to include masterpieces of printmaking from the sixteenth to the twentieth centuries.Ī dynamic holding of graphics that now includes fifty-seven prints, The Jansma Print Collection is also recognized for the superior quality of each impression, and is envied by print curators at some of the world's largest museums. Initiated in 2005, this grouping of etchings, engravings, and woodcuts by master artists who have been inspired by Christian faith and Biblical themes, is the highlight of the Museum’s Works on Paper Collection.
