In Tino Villanueva's 2016 poem "Field of Moving Colors Layered," the poet contemplates a painting that has inspired him: Alberto Valdés's 1965 work Untitled. The painting, which features overlapping geometric shapes, fuels the poem's exploration of temporality and identity. in responding to Valdés's artwork, Villanueva's poem reflects on the relationship between poetry and other art forms.
