Charles 'Chuck' Csuri was an All-American tackle and team MVP for the first Buckeye team to win a National Championship in 1942. He was voted team captain for 1943, but before the season began he entered military service.
Csuri served his country from 1943 until the end of World War II. As a corporal in the Army's field artillery, he was awarded a Bronze Star for heroism during the Battle of the Bulge.
In 1946 he returned to tOSU and played football. He received his M.A. in art in 1948 and joined the Ohio State faculty the next year. He is still professor emeritus in Ohio State's Advanced Computing Center for the Arts and Design (ACCAD), which evolved from the Computer Graphics Research Group he established in 1971.
Chuck Csuri has received worldwide recognition as a pioneer in the fields of graphic design and digital art, and has been called the 'Father of Computer Art". His work has been exhibited in London, Italy, NYC's MOMA and at the Smithsonian. In November, 2000 he received Ohio State's highest honor, the Joseph Sullivant Medal, which is only awarded every 5 years, and presented on the basis of an alumnus' or faculty member's work which has had a significant impact upon society.
His work is currently being displayed in downtown Columbus, through October 9th, at the OSU Urban Arts Space in the old Lazarus building.
