Jay Rummel , A Montana Original
January - February 2000
At the Holter
Museum of Art
Jay Rummel was a legendary painter and printmaker who lived in
Missoula almost all of his life. Born near Helena in 1939, Jay was influenced by most of
the movements that have touched artists in Montana, including depression-era prints,
Native American storytelling, pioneer storytelling, the paintings of C.M. Russell, the
psychedelic poster art of the 1960's, and, to a lesser degree, modern movements such as
abstract expressionism. There are elements of nostalgia, folk art and psychedelia in
almost all of Jay's work.
