Eugene Ludins (born March 23, 1904, Mariupol, Ukraine, died 1996, New York) was a leading regional American painter and academic. His paintings are in the collection of the Whitney Museum of Art, and his works have been shown in solo exhibits in Woodstock, New York, New York City, the Dorsky Museum at SUNY in New Paltz, New York, and Albany, New York, as well as in Iowa. His representational art, often fantastic and surrealistic, fell into obscurity after 1948, concurrent with the advent of Abstract Expressionism and his move to teach at the University of Iowa. Only in the early 21st Century did he regain national recognition, posthumously.〔 ==Early career== Ludins was born in what was then Russia, and moved with his parents to America when he was a few months old. They settled in The Bronx,〔〔 where he grew up.〔 Ludins attended the Art Students League, and from 1928 to 1932, he lived and worked in the Maverick Artists Colony in Woodstock .〔〔〔 There, in 1932, he met fellow Woodstock artist Hannah Small, who was then married to (but separated from) artist Austin Mecklem; later, they eloped to New Mexico, and upon returning, moved to their own house in Woodstock.〔 In 1937, he married the now-divorced Small, and he served as a director of two Federal Art Projects from 1937 to 1939.〔〔〔〔 From 1941 to 1942, Luden's ''Fish Hunt'' was exhibited at the Art Institute of Chicago, but did not win any awards in their annual show of American paintings and sculpture. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Eugene Ludins」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
