Featured Artist: Ted Ludwiczak
Riverside Rocks, Hudson River, New York State

 

Ted Ludwiczak was 30 when he arrived in the USA after World War II. A well-educated young man – speaking Polish, German and some English – he studied economics in his native Poland and had worked with the American military during the Allies’ postwar occupation of Germany.

 

He headed to New York, eventually finding and moving into the modest house he now occupies, alone, in his retirement. The house is located in Rockland County, New York, on the banks of the Hudson River. In the 1980s, Ludwiczak decided to build a retaining wall to prevent his yard from eroding and slipping into the river.

Using chunks of red river rock, he made his first stone carvings to adorn a section of this retaining wall. Ludwiczak says he tries not to impose a face or a style on his material as much as he seeks to respond to the “spirit of each stone” and thereby to give visible form to the character or personality he feels may be emanating from it.

Ted Ludwiczak is featured in the Outsider Art Sourcebook and in Raw Vision 66.
