A Framed Abstract Aquatint by Ronald Davis (1937-)

Ronald Davis (1937-)

Ronald Davis is a contemporary American artist best known for his work associated with Geometric Abstraction, Abstract Illusionism, Lyrical Abstraction, and Hard-Edge painting. Composed of flat planes of bold color, Davis uses two-dimensional, three-dimensional, and digital space to encompass his work.

Born on June 29, 1937 in Santa Monica, CA, Davis spent his early life in Cheyenne, WY. First studying at the University of Wyoming in 1955-56, he then transferred to the San Francisco Art Institute in 1960. Since the mid-1960s, his work has circulated around ideas of abstraction, humans' relation to digital space, and the history of painting. Considered among the most important artists of his generation, Davis' long career has been dotted by achievements such as the reception of a National Endowment for the Arts grant, and a 2002 retrospective at the Butler Institute of American Art in Youngstown, OH. Davis lives and works in Arroyo Hondo, NM. 

His works are in the collections of The Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Tate Gallery in London, the Art Institute of Chicago, the San Francisco Museum of Art, and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
