About the Item
This 37" x 26" oil on linen was painted by Robert Bonaparte in 1980. It is characterized by its abstract stylistic qualities and the various forms and shapes depicted. At its center stands a large, solid green leaf-shaped form resembling a tree or a bush. To the right are two smaller, abstract shapes, one brown and the other dark blue. Above the central form, six white circular shapes with black and yellow accents are depicted. The background is divided into an upper pale yellow section and a lower earthy brown section. There are three round shapes in yellow and orange in the lower part towards the left side of the canvas. An isolated white shape with black outlines is depicted to the right of the three round shapes and seemingly represents a vase or vessel.
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.
