Rudolph Ruzikca Again

Barges and the interconnecting waterways they traveled made New York into the Empire State. As is often the case, it was an outsider, the immigrant Rusicka who etched unforgettable images of his adopted homeland. As the sturdy barge plys ahead, the waves in its wake are so realistically rendered, you can almost feel their movement.
