Ronnie Landfield has been an acclaimed American artist since the mid-1960s. The 72-year-old Landfield — who has had more than 70 solo exhibitions of his work — is most famous for his large, abstract landscape paintings. His canvasses are displayed in the permanent collections of numerous prestigious museums, including the Art Institute of Chicago, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, to name just a few.
Quote: “My inspiration has been my conviction that modern painting is fueled by the combination of tradition and the realities of modern life. Spirituality and feeling are the basic subjects of my work. They are depictions of intuitive expressions using color as language, and the landscape (God’s earth) as a metaphor for the arena of life.”
