RONALD, WILLIAM (1926- ) Mr. Ronald (born William Ronald Smith) studied at O.C.A. under Jock MacDonald, Carl Scheafer, Will Ogilvie, and George Pepper. He organized the Painters Eleven and they held their first show at Robert's Gallery. He studied under Hans Hoffmann and moved to New York, where he got a contract with the prestigious Kootz Gallery. When the movement changed to Pop Art, Kootz wanted him to change his style but Ronald wouldn't. So they parted company with harsh words. He moved back to Toronto in 1965 and painted and exhibited until his death. His work often comes up at auction.
