About the Item
Frank Sinatra
1915-1998 American
Blue Abstract
Signed "Sinatra 90" (lower right)
Acrylic on canvas
Widely considered the greatest American pop singer of the 20th century, Frank Sinatra was not only an iconic entertainer but also an accomplished painter. An avid art lover throughout his life, Sinatra became a significant collector after his rise to fame, acquiring both modern and postmodern paintings from across the world. He also spent his free time creating dynamic compositions like this one, inspired by the bold aesthetics of the great abstractionists to inform his own unique vision.
This energetic composition, Blue Abstract, presents bold geometric forms and sharp lines in orange, red, yellow, blue, brown, green, black and white set against a vibrant blue background. The interplay of color and form creates a dynamic sense of space, movement and vitality, amplified by the work’s impressive scale. Evoking the colorful, minimalist geometry of masters like Piet Mondrian and Frank Stella, this striking canvas is a simple yet vibrant original from the famed singer.
By the mid-1960s, Sinatra was an icon. He famously became the founding member of the "Rat Pack," an informal group of Las Vegas entertainers that also included Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Peter Lawford and others. Sinatra briefly retired from his long-standing gig at Caesars Palace in the early 1970s, and it was during this period away from the stage when he painted the present work. He eventually returned and would continue to perform until 1995, when he played his last show at the age of 79. He died just three years later of a heart attack at the age of 82. Today, Sinatra memorabilia, particularly such personal objects as his paintings, are highly prized by both lovers of his music and lovers of fine art.

Frank Sinatra
Frank Sinatra was born in 1915 to Italian immigrants in New Jersey, Frank Sinatra rose to fame in the early 1940s, singing first with the famed "Sentimental Gentleman of Swing" Tommy Dorsey, and later striking out on his own as a solo artist. His career blossomed in the mid-1940s thanks to a series of successful, chart-topping singles, when his baritone earned him the moniker "The Sultan of Swoon." He made his debut as an actor in 1943 with the film Reveille with Beverley, and in 1945, he won an Academy Award for the short film The House I Live In. By the mid-1960s, Sinatra was an icon. He famously became the founding member of the "Rat Pack," an informal group of Las Vegas entertainers that also included Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Peter Lawford and others. Sinatra briefly retired from his long-standing gig at Caesars Palace in the early 1970s, and it was during this period away from the stage when he painted the present work. Yet, he eventually returned and would continue to perform until 1995, when he played his last show at the age of 79. He died just three years later of a heart attack at the age of 82. Today, Sinatra memorabilia, particularly such personal objects as his paintings, are highly prized by both lovers of his music and lovers of fine art.
