Eugene Ludins (born March 23, 1904, Mariupol, Ukraine, died 1996, New York City) was a leading regional American painter and academic.
His paintings are in the collection of the Whitney Museum of Art, and his works have been shown in solo exhibits in Woodstock, New York, New York City, the Dorsky Museum at SUNY in New Paltz, New York, and Albany, New York, as well as in Iowa.His representational art, often fantastic and surrealistic, fell into obscurity after 1948, concurrent with the advent of Abstract Expressionism and his move to teach at the University of Iowa.
Only in the early 21st Century did he regain national recognition, posthumously.
