*Pressing Matters* a virtual look at prints in USD's collection. . . Bob and Roberta Smith is the moniker used by UK based artist, activist, and filmmaker Patrick Brill. Words are central to Smith’s art as his work is composed of slogans in a style one would normally associate with political campaigns or protests. Smith uses his slogans to convey messages of art activism and has involved much of his own efforts into vouching for the importance of art education. "What Unites Human Beings" stems from a speech delivered by Smith to the Parliamentary Group for Art, Craft and Design in Education in early 2018. -Elle Necoechea, Curatorial Intern, Summer 2018 . .

On this Feast day of the Annunciation...The angel Gabriel was sent by God and said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. Behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name him Jesus. He will be great and will be called Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give him the throne of David his father, and he will rule over the house of Jacob forever, and of his Kingdom there will be no end.” Engraving Hendricks Goltzius 1594 #prints #engravings #universityofsandiego
A couple of weeks ago we moved the entire print collection out of Founders Hall in advance of the building’s closure. We’re so grateful to @artworkssandiego for their incredible work moving the entire collection safely and efficiently! We’ll post updates and pictures from our new home as circumstances allow, knowing that art is a balm for the soul in uncertain times. Stay safe everyone! #museumfromhome #printcollection #artheals

Happy National Cat Day! The two fancy cheetahs depicted here were included by Francesco Rosselli in his 15th-century print of the Adoration. These guys, and a particularly worried-looking camel, can be seen in the Hoehn Family Galleries as a part of our ongoing exhibition, "Christ: Life, Death and Resurrection."
