Description

Born in Dayton in 1934, Edward Ostendorf graduated in 1957 from the University of Dayton with a bachelor’s degree in arts. At UD, he also met his wife, Catherine DeVol. His career as a graphic artist for religious and educational publications spanned 55 years. Ostendorf also pursued a religious calling, serving as a Roman Catholic deacon at parishes in the Archdiocese of Cincinnati and as a chaplain at Warren Correctional Institution in Lebanon, Ohio. During his later years, he painted portraits of biblical figures. He also painted a series of biblical scenes with hidden images. Following Ostendorf’s death in 2009, his wife began donating his works to the University. The Marian Library has 179 pieces of his art, a selection of which makes up this exhibit. This gallery guide shows his paintings.
