Rain Dance 2 — Fine Art

Rain Dance 2 - 1969 by Ronnie Landfield builds its surface with overlapping painted bands and shifting colour. The artist works in colour field painting, laying broad strokes over a flat ground so the tones meet and separate on the sheet. You see the weight of each band where it crosses the next one.

This fine art print arrives ready to hang, with a metal hanger fitted to the back that goes straight onto a nail or screw. No separate frame to buy. The matte paper keeps the painted bands from shining under a lamp, so the colour stays even across the sheet.

In a reading corner the bands hold the eye at the center of the wall. You notice the thin shifts between tones where one band overlaps another, and the quiet ground gives the room a steady shape.
