Theo Rudnak, Original Painting for Woodruff Arts Center Brochure Cover, 1990 - An original painting by Theo Rudnak, created for the Woodruff Arts Center as the cover for their brochure.

A French horn serves as a ramp for a small figure skateboarding, surrounded by floating winged musical notes, abstract tree-like forms resembling paintbrushes, and geometric shapes. The scene is set against a verdant foreground and a cloudy sky. It is rendered in what appears to be oil or acrylic on canvas or board, signed ”RUDNAK” in the lower left. The painting is protected by glass and an off-white mat, encased in a gilded frame. Verso includes attached documentation identifying the piece as an ”Original Painting by Theo Rudnak, ” created for the ”Woodruff Arts Center, Cover for the Arts Center Brochure, ” with a ”Paid” stamp dated ”APR 30 1990,” and a biographical sheet for Theo Rudnak, an Atlanta-based illustrator listing projects from 1988-1989.
