Robert Bonaparte 'Abstraction with Clouds' by Robert Bonaparte, Oil on Linen1980
1980
About the Item
This framed, 37" x 40" x 1.75" oil on canvas painting by Robert Bonaparte was done in 1980. The painting presents an abstract composition that utilizes a vibrant and contrasting color palette. In the upper section of the canvas, cloud-like forms dominate the scene. On the left, swirling forms in shades of gold stand out against the background, suggesting movement. Adjacent to this, on the right side, a stark black cloud shape also stands out against the backdrop, creating more contrast. Beneath these shapes is a central form—a bold red shape, resembling an organic form. The lower portion of the artwork features deep purple tones and an elongated bright yellow shape.
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.
