American, 1927 - 2011
Roy Ahlgren, born in 1927 in Erie, PA, was a self-taught painter known for his work in op art and hard edge technique.

He received over 60 prizes, including purchase awards from prestigious institutions like the Seattle Art Museum, Minot State College, Texas Tech University Museum, and the Mississippi Art Association.
