Byron Randall (October 23, 1918 – August 11, 1999) was an expressionist artist and social activist. Recognized as both a painter and a printmaker, he produced landscapes, still lifes, portraiture, satire, and nudes. Labor, war, and Mexico are among his most prominent themes. Critics identify glowing and unusual color, dramatic lines, intense energy, and emotional range as the hallmarks of his style.[2] As an activist, Randall was known for peace and environmental work, founding and chairing arts organizations, and promoting international cultural understanding.
