Catalogue Note

William Ronald, the youngest member of Painters Eleven, did the most to help change the direction of abstract art in Canada in the late 1950s and early 60s.  His work was regularly exhibited to wide acclaim in the prestigious Kootz Gallery in New York for almost a decade.

His historical importance in bringing Canadian art to the attention of American critics, collectors and artists with his form of Abstract Expressionism was unparalleled.
