“Autio's art continues to tap the resource of Western folklore from actual locations to the lyrical dynamo of bucking horses. . . .there is an immediate awareness of unspoken authority--as clay artist, painter and visual innovator. His quiet, soft spoken manner, can be, like his art, illusive of his deeply held dedication.”
--Abstract from Michael Rubin's foreword, Rudy Autio Work 1983-1996, White Swan Press, 1996.
