About the Item
This 31" x 28" oil on linen painting was done by Robert Bonaparte in 1980. The painting depicts an abstracted and minimalist still life composition on a canvas. In the foreground, there’s a dark blue table. On this table, a dark brown plate presumably holds two round oranges and a curved yellow. Adjacent to the plate, a brown jug with a handle stands. The background behind the presumed table is divided into different colored sections: green and purple with four horizontal black lines on the upper right side of the canvas and the rest of the background is a light brown color. The bold colors and simple shapes lend the abstract quality to this artwork.
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.
