About the Item
This framed, 33" x 26" oil on canvas painting was completed by Robert Bonaparte in 1980. The painting presents a composition dominated by dark hues, creating a nocturnal atmosphere and features various geometric shapes and contrasting colors. On the left is an elongated green shape resembling a vase or pot, with a large dark blue/green rounded shape emerging from the top, perhaps representative of a potted plant. To the right of this form is what appears to be a window with four panes, only partially visible as it meets the upper right corner of the canvas. The window panes are slightly lighter in color, providing contrast to the surrounding darkness. Below the window and to the right of the green shape lies a horizontal line that could represent a shelf or ledge; on this line rests a light brown, somewhat triangular form that might be also be interpreted as a vessel or another object. Scattered across the lower section of the painting are circular shapes in various sizes and colors: one green circle, one purple circle, and one blue circle.
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.
