An important aspect of Jerry Rudquist’s career for over forty years was his anti-war images, drawings, prints and paintings focused closely on bone fragments. He was also admired as a colorist, portrait painter and composer of gentle satirical takes on contemporary life. Rudquist spent much of his life in Minneapolis where he graduated from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design in 1956. He earned his MFA at Cranbrook Academy of Art in Michigan before returning to teach at Macalister College.
