I attended Univ. of Hartford Art school in Conn. from 1967-1969. I remember seeing Mr. Zallinger at our school sitting working on a small painting of what looked like the French court of Louis the 15th. It created quite a stir among us students as we were amazed at the fine detail and skill he showed. At the time I assumed he was one of our teachers but that appears untrue. I’ve never found out why he was there. He seemed to be a quiet and humble man with great talent

I just watched a fascinating special about Paleontologists E.C.Cope and O.C.Marsh on public TV. which brought me once again and as always back to linesandcolors! Thank you for your many wonderful and informative links to the Peabody museum. I just want to get a shovel and head out west to dig!!Or head east to the Peabody. I did find at stuartnbooks.com the sale of three of Charles R. Knight’s sketch books – art selected by William Stout. I didn’t linger to see if they are still for sale. Thank you as always for being the very best go to sight for art information Charley. How do you keep all that information in one head??? Betty

Wonderful! Thanks for your personal insights. I don’t know about the value of Zalliinger’s early work, but I’m certain there would be interest in some quarters.

My father and Rudy were high school friends, growing up in Seattle together. Our family has 3 of his works. He painted a landscape of Mt. Shuksan (Washington state) which he gave as a wedding present to my parents in 1943. I have a portrait of my father that Rudy drew in charcoal, and according to the story told to me, it was his entry to be considered for a scholarship. Finally, I have a pen and ink drawing dated 1940 which shows a person walking in an eerie setting. This could be a forerunner of his early man works. I have often wondered if there is interest in his early works.

Mr Zallinger was one of my teachers at the Paier School of Art in the mid ’70′s. He was a generous and insightful instructor and visiting the Peabody Museum was always a thrill. It is located (or was) in New Haven, CT.
