About the Artist
Ernest Ruckle was born in New Jersey,
USA, in 1940. He specialized in literary criticism at Rutgers
University and became an artist in 1963. He's had many
shows in New York and has lived in Waterford,
Ireland, since 1986.
Several American regional museums have included his work
in surveys of recent art.
'Noteworthy among the unknowns.'
— The New York Times.
His training in the careful methods of literary criticism
has made him impatient with the more casual methods of art
criticism and has alienated him from the art mainstream.
In 1978 he wrote an essay
on the need for reforming art criticism.
He's represented by the
Louis K. Meisel Gallery, 141 Prince Street, New York 10012.
You can write to him at 6 Convent Hill Terrace,
Waterford, Ireland, or send him e-mail at
