Richard Borthwick Gorman RCA (December 20, 1935 – August 6, 2010) was a Canadian painter and printmaker.[1][2] He was known for his magnetic prints which he created using ink covered ball-bearings manipulated with a magnet held behind the drawing board and for his large abstract paintings in which he broadly handled paint. In the 1960s, he also made aluminum sculptures and experimented with film.[3]
