Saint Augustine 1968

"Saint Augustine" (1968) by Ronnie Landfield is a captivating abstract painting that showcases bold color choices and striking minimalist compositions. The red background provides a dramatic backdrop for the geometric shapes and lines, highlighting the artist's deliberate use of negative space. The central cluster of layered rectangles, rendered in vibrant hues of yellow, blue, white, and pink, draws the viewer's eye and creates a powerful visual tension against the minimal strokes of red that extend throughout the piece. Landfield's unique approach to abstract expressionism is evident in this work, which invites viewers to explore the interplay between color, form, and negative space.
