About the Item
Diver with Grouper under a Boat – Mid-20th Century
Oil on canvas
Framed size: 99 × 74 cm
Unframed size: 80 × 56 cm
20th-century wooden frame
The painting depicts a diver working under a boat, accompanied in the foreground by a large grouper. The dating to the mid-20th century is supported by the equipment: compressed-air tanks and a rubber diving suit typical of the early autonomous systems introduced in the 1950s.
The work employs a surreal, magical yet figurative language, maintaining clear readability while introducing a subtle sense of visual play. The grouper has a deliberately ironic quality, reminiscent of illustration or early animation, giving the scene a distinctive tone.
A partially legible signature, “Bondi (?)”, appears in one corner of the canvas.
20th-century wooden frame.
