About This Item

A gorgeous, deeply inked impression in virtually pristine condition. Gordon Gilkey (1912-2000) was a printmaker, teacher, collector, and curator. He graduated from Albany College, which is now Lewis & Clark College, in 1933 and obtained a Master of Fine Arts degree from the University of Oregon in 1936. He served in World War II in a special division dedicated to locating and returning art confiscated by the Nazis and to confiscating Nazi propaganda. Gilkey spent the majority of his career teaching printmaking at Oregon State University. Gilkey was crucial in building awareness for and appreciation of works on paper, and was instrumental in creating proper storage and viewing spaces for the graphic arts. In 1993, the Vivian and Gordon Gilkey Center for Graphic Arts was inaugurated at the Museum. As an artist, Gilkey is best known for his etchings. He worked in both representational as well as abstract styles throughout his career, and was an early practitioner of computer-assisted art. He is represented in most of the major museums in the United States, and many abroad, including the Metropolitan Museum, the Library of Congress, the Smithsonian, Bibliotheque Nationale (Paris), the British Museum, the Staatsgalerie (Stuttgart, Germany), and the National Academy of Fine Arts.
