BOB STANLEY BIOGRAPHY
Bob Robert Stanley was a painter whose early work was figurative painting about contemporary American life.
Stanley was born in Yonkers, New York and studied at the Arts Students League, the Brooklyn Museum Art School on a Max Beckman Scholarship, Columbia University and Oglethorpe University.
In the 1960s and early 1970s, he based his paintings on photographs, which he manipulated from black and white ot larger than life colored shapes. Enlarged and often rendered in two equally saturated colors, Stanley's images could border on the abstract or be powerfully explicit. His preferred subjects, including rock stars, sporting events and pornography, always seemed to grate against the pretenses of high art, like Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein.
His first one-man exhibition was in 1963, and exhibition venues included the Whitney Museum of American Art and the Art Institute of Chicago. His preferred medium was acrylic and sources for his work subjects included coloring book figures, puzzles, graphs and scientific diagram.
Robert Stanley, a painter who translated newspaper photographs and other commercial imagery into gritty works on canvas, died in 1997 at 65.
