About the Item
This framed, 34" x 29" abstract oil on canvas was painted by Robert Bonaparte in 1980. The painting's predominant tones are earthy, complemented by accents of orange, white, yellow and green. The rich brown background occupies most of the canvas. On the left is dark orange shape with a pattern of yellow diamond-like shapes. Within the central area, a lighter brown form features abstract still-life elements: a round orange shape with three black dots, a white shape resembling a pitcher or jug, and an elongated dark grey shape below. Scattered green clover-like motifs are positioned amongst the grey area overlayed by the central lighter brown form and scattered grey clover motifs are also seen within the predominant rich brown background.
In the vibrant aftermath of WWII, amidst an Oklahoma City blooming with cultural resurgence thanks to New Deal initiatives, a young Robert Bonaparte found his calling alongside his childhood friend and neighbor, Ed Ruscha. While Ruscha's works found global acclaim, Bonaparte's creations remained a treasured secret, known only to a select group of collectors and friends. Born in 1933 in Oklahoma City, Robert Bonaparte emerged as a pivotal yet under-recognized figure in the abstract art scene. From an early age, Bonaparte formed a profound friendship and artistic dialogue with Ed Ruscha, a relationship that would influence both artists' careers. After graduating from the University of Arizona in 1956, Bonaparte's thirst for knowledge took him to Rome, Italy, where he furthered his studies in art, broadening his perspective and technique. In 1959, alongside a cohort of Oklahoma artists, he relocated to California, where his artistic expression flourished. Bonaparte's work, known for its vibrant landscapes and introspective still lifes, has graced galleries worldwide, from Galleria "La Vetrina" in Rome to the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art in Norman, Oklahoma, showcasing his international acclaim and versatility. Despite the quieter recognition compared to his contemporaries, Bonaparte's contributions to the art world are invaluable.
