Woodcuts at The Minneapolis Institute of Arts

+ JMJ +

Prints and Drawings from the Museum's Permanent Collection

The Department of Prints and Drawings at The Minneapolis Institute of Arts (MIA) was established in 1916.  It is responsible for the care, exhibition, and acquisition of works of art on paper.  

These include woodcuts, engravings, etchings, lithographs, screenprints, drawings, watercolors, pastels, monotypes, multiples, artists' books, and rare books, ranging from early 14th-century illuminated manuscripts to contemporary works on paper. It is the MIA’s hidden treasure chest.

Many of the greatest European and American artists from the Renaissance to the present are represented, often in considerable depth and quality.
