The Art of Rudy Rotter

The Art of Rudy Rotter (1913-2001) presents a special world of people and creatures bound within the borders of his many drawings and sculptures. The art is the product of his 45-year exploration into the interconnectedness of humanity.

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

The style has been attributed to the Outsider and Self-taught genres.

For 45 years Rotter obsessively created art daily in an unheated studio in a small Wisconsin town, producing enough work to eventually fill three floors of a self-styled museum.

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

While the museum no longer exists, a fresh effort is underway to raise awareness of this 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.”
