| Jack Dudley's work has previously appeared in the Museum Center Gallery. Please enjoy this on-line only exhibit.
Jack Dudley (1918-1996), in his later years, perfected the rare "broken
color" technique of oil painting, building layers of colors on the
canvas, then carefully revealing the submerged colors by "breaking
through" one or more layers. The effect is somewhat impressionistic,
somewhat pointillistic, and entirely unique.
Dudley lived and painted in Laguna Beach for 38 years. During World War
II, he produced artistic records of the Indochina Theater. During the
period after the war until the mid-1960s, Dudley worked as a commercial
artist and architectural illustrator.
Upon establishing himself as a fine artist, Dudley's art has been shown
in galleries in Laguna Beach (where the Esther Wells Collection continues
to represent him), Portland, Oregon, Scottsdale, and Palm Desert, California.
In 1996, shortly before he passed away, Jack Dudley received the Grand
Canyon Purchase Award for his painting, "View from the North Rim."
One year later, the Dudley family established the Jack Dudley Memorial
Fund.
The Jack Dudley paintings for sale in this exhibit are masterful examples
