Jacob In The Wilderness 1986

"Jacob in the Wilderness" (1986) is an abstract painting by American artist Ronnie Landfield. It features a central, blurred, and textured landscape that is framed by geometric bands of solid color in varying shades of orange, blue, and purple. Landfield is known for his use of watercolor and acrylic on canvas, and this work exemplifies his interest in depicting the abstract qualities of landscape and nature through his unique style. The painting's muted color palette and subtle textural details create a sense of depth and mystery. The title suggests a connection to biblical stories and an exploration of the human condition, though the image itself remains open to interpretation.
