Centre in Ottawa. Alongside his painting,
he also worked as moderator on the art
TV shows “Umbrella“ and “As It Happens”,
as well as being columnist for the “Toronto
Telegram”. He attracted attention at the
same time with a series of abstract portrait
paintings of the Canadian Prime Minis-
ters, which, despite the initial polemics,
are today on permanent display at the
Waterloo Art Gallery in Kitchener, Ontario.
After his return to Canada, his painting was
characterised above all by its symbolism
and central motifs.
Our painting “Belly Button” is a wonderful
example and typical of the late work of
William Ronald.
