Ralph Johnson (1925-1994) was a professor
of Art at UC Davis for over thirty years. He was a painter and sculptor,
and also produced many works on paper. This selection of works from the
Richard L. Nelson Gallery & The Fine Arts Collection introduces the
range of his investigations from abstractions and inventions to images of
rural Ireland where he kept a cottage retreat. This exhibition was made
possible by funds provided by NELSON ARTfriends. (left: Ralph Johnson,
