Abstract Expressionist
1930 - 1989
Ronaldo De Juan bridged Latin American and North American abstract expressionism through six decades of artistic production. Born in Córdoba, Argentina in 1930, he established his career across three major artistic centers: Córdoba, Paris, and New York.
A Guggenheim Fellow and recipient of the Dr. Genaro Pérez Museum Grand Prize, De Juan's work is held in major collections including the Corcoran Gallery of Art and the National Museum of Fine Arts, Buenos Aires. His 183 documented works span from 1951 to 1987, representing a significant contribution to second-generation Abstract Expressionism.
