About Ron Renner
Born in 1940, Ron started painting under the influence of his parents who owned the Renner Art Center in New Jersey. Some of the artists who contributed to his style were Klee, Kandinsky, Kirschner, Nolde, Miro, Picasso, and Cezanne.

1957 - 1962: Synchronicity
Although Ron started drip and splatter paintings in 1957, he had no knowledge of Jackson Pollock until seeing the artist’s work as portrayed on the cover of the Saturday Evening Post by Norman Rockwell in 1962. As a result of his disappointment in discovering another painter working in the same style, Ron’s drip painting style temporarily ended with “Splatter in Red,” painted 1962.
1969-1973: Formal Education and Return to Style
Ron studied at the Philadelphia College of Art (1969-1973), majoring in Interior Design and Fine Arts. He also studied at Fleisher Art Memorial under abstract artist Tom Gaughan. At that time Ron decided to resume the style he independently developed in spite of Pollock’s death in 1956 and fame that followed.

Blue Nude and Lady in Red are inventive and unique, showing influences by Picasso, Matisse, and Modigliani.
