For those of us who knew Rudy, he was…and is…an inspiration. He was not a simple minded outsider, but a thoughtful broadminded man. Rudy faced some obstacles, despite the recognition he did receive. There were conservative minds in Manitowoc, including those who were offended by his sculpting the nude human figure, those who could not look beyond his being without an art credit education, those who may have held some prejudice that he was Jewish…and those jealous of the success he did have. His legacy in Manitowoc could be a nice quality permanent exhibit/musuem that could give the small city some more pride and some tourist attraction beyond what it already has.
I first met him when I was about 13 years old, when he took me and an artist aunt of mine into the basement studio under his dentist office. He was enthusiastic, proud, and always energetic…and usually upbeat. He was a gift.
