WILLIAM RONALD, R.C.A.UNTITLEDacrylic on board laid down on canvassigned 20 ins x 29.75 ins; 50.8 cms x 75.6 cms Literature:William Ronald interview by Joan Murray, 31 May 1977, quoted in Roald Nasgaard, Abstract Painting in Canada, Douglas & McIntyre, Vancouver/Toronto, 2007, page 109.Note:In this untitled work, William Ronald transforms the canvas into an abstract altarpiece. Three distinct sections, each with a background of alternating white and blue stripes, appear like opened panels. Ronald's central dominant shape is a circle of jubilant orange - facets of which appear to radiate across the canvas, seeking out its blue counterparts. Evoking reverence for the polemic and the exuberant, Untitled is an ample reflection of Ronald himself. As the artist once conveyed, "If I'm going to make an impact..., I've got to be unique."
