Sailing to India — Fine Art

Sailing to India, - 1970 by Ronnie Landfield opens on a broad painted field with a strong band of colour set across the middle. The eye moves from that band toward the open space around it. Ronnie Landfield built the surface with long passes of paint.

The fine art print sits on matte paper, so the painted bands stay even and the flat light stays soft under a lamp. You can match the frame finish to the room, with a light frame on a dark wall or a dark frame beside pale furniture.

It hangs on the wall beside a desk in a study. From the doorway you see the painted band and the open ground first, then the small marks on the paper when you stand near it.
