“Pozzotti’s career is extraordinary … in the media of drawing, printmaking, monotypes, collages, oils, watercolors, and sculpture.” – Norman A. Geske, p.14, Rudy Pozzatti: A Printmaker’s Odyssey.

“Rudy Pozzatti is a man who is in all aspects generous. He is a good artist, teacher, craftsman, and friend. Enthusiastic as he is about his own work he has always embraced and encouraged the work of others. He is among the first people I would call with a technical question, knowing his instruction would be most thorough. More importantly he is among those I most hope to emulate.” -Steven Sorman.

“Ultimately, Rudy Pozzatti is the consummate printmaker, one who mastered the techniques of intaglio, woodcut, lithography, and silkscreen, and one who learned to work with the inherent qualities of each so that they complemented and enlivened his own artistic pursuits. His abilities have earned him an international reputation as an artist and as a master printer. His charms and his generosity have earned him untold respect and too many enduring friendships to ever count. We are all, indeed, enriched by the man and his art.” – Pegram Harrison – Extract from the catalogue: “Rudy Pozzatti – A Printmaker’s Odyssey”, Indiana University Art Museum, 2002.
