Ronald Ahlstrom Art

American, 1922-2012

Ronald Ahlstrom was an American abstract artist, born in 1922. An adept and sensitive painter, his most personal work is as an abstract expressionist collage maker. Using strips of paper, sometimes weathered and beaten into rough-hewn surfaces, he creates immaculately layered, lively and gestural compositions. He has exhibited his artwork nationally, including shows at the Art Institute of Chicago and the Corcoran Gallery of Art, in Washington, DC, among others.
