Ron Grauer
American, 1927-2018

Ron Grauer (1927-2018) was a gifted graphic designer, musician, linguist, writer, and teacher; but his brilliance blazed most brightly as a visual fine artist. Honored as a “painter’s painter,” Ron set rigorous standards for himself, creating impassioned landscapes, elegant still lifes, and sensitive portraits for more than five decades.

“My every waking moment is spent studying the beauty we all share but few notice…the subtle, mysterious quality of light and color that come and go fleetingly yet leave substance enough to offer us a glimpse of an emotion, almost spiritual, when we recall it in a painting. This is what it’s all about.” —Ron Grauer
