Note:

Ronald York Wilson was a well-known muralist and painter but is perhaps best known for his geometric art produced later in life. His mural commissions included projects for Montreal’s McGill University and the Imperial Oil building in Toronto (now retro-fitted as a condominium).

Beginning in the 1950s, Wilson enjoyed several trips to Mexico. This "No Blank Walls" auction includes four of the artist’s life drawing studies, several of which were executed during Wilson’s Mexican sojourns.
