For John Keats 1978

"For John Keats" (1978) is a vibrant abstract painting by American artist Ronnie Landfield. The work's central section displays an intensely layered application of watercolors in warm hues of red, yellow, and orange. The color gradients blend into a hazy, ethereal effect evocative of a sunset or a celestial body. The composition is further enhanced by the introduction of a thin, pale-colored band at the top and a solid pink strip at the bottom, acting as visual anchors for the viewer's eye. Landfield’s approach to abstract expressionism invites contemplation of the fleeting beauty of nature and its transformative power.
