Homer Exhibit

The Janet Turner Print Museum will open the doors of its new home Jan. 26 in the Meriam Library at California State University, Chico with an exhibition of newly acquired print art from American art icon Winslow Homer.

Titled “Deconstructing Innocence: Winslow Homer Prints,” the exhibit runs through Feb. 22 and features the Robert R. and Sharon R. Ross Collection of Winslow Homer Prints.

The Rosses, professors emeriti of the departments of political science and mathematics, respectively, donated the art to The Turner last year. The professors knew Janet Turner personally and shared her love of fine art prints. The grand opening of The Turner in its new Meriam Library location will be the collection’s first public showing.
