American painter and sculptor (born 1936) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Joel Rudnick (born June 27, 1936) is an American painter and sculptor.
Originally from Brooklyn, New York, Rudnick received his initial training as a painter at the Art Students League of New York. He was a protégé of Shelly Fink and studied with the caricaturist and painter David Levine on a scholarship at the Brooklyn Museum Art School. Rudnick also studied sculpture at the National Academy School of Art and Design in New York City.
Joel Rudnick re-modeled the falcon for the Central Park statue called The Falconer by George Blackall Simonds. The remodeling occurred in the late 1960s although, due to lack of funds, it was not actually cast and mounted until 1982.[1]
The bulk of Rudnick's paintings[2] are impressionistic landscapes of the Berkshires,[3][4][5] which he has called home for most of his adult life. His sculptures, mostly nudes, depict people in various stages of life or in their loving interactions with each other.
