Welcome to the Art of Rudy Rotter

The Art of Rudy Rotter

The Art of Rudy Rotter (1913-2001) creates a unique and special world bound within the borders of his many drawings and sculptures. The art is the product of 45 years of artistic exploration into the interconnectedness of humanity.

The sensations brought forth by the work are inner-directed, the feelings put forth are deeply etched. The value of the art is found both in its emotional heft and unique aesthetic reach.

Rotter’s style has been attributed to the Outsider and Self-taught genres.

For 45 years Rotter obsessively daily created art in an unheated 100-year-old warehouse in the small Wisconsin town of Manitowoc, producing enough artwork to eventually fill three full floors of a self-styled museum.

The art of Rudy Rotter is distinctive and easily attributable to the artist. The work stands apart from the standard conventions and formal language of the art world. It is the product of Rotter’s rich inner imagination, intense drive to create, and his constant inventiveness.

The Rudy Rotter Museum of Sculpture ceased to exist after his passing. However, a fresh effort is currently underway to raise awareness of the art and life of this significant under-recognized artist.

His creativity is driven by a passion to convey a feeling about humanity. In the sanctity of his Buffalo Street studio, it doesn’t matter who or what is outside the door. Inside, his mind and imagination take him to places most ordinary mortals will only begin to know by looking at his work.”
