Robert De Niro, Sr., at Salander-O'Reilly - New York, New York - Review of Exhibitions - Brief ArticleAndre Malraux maintained that a painter's first creative impulse draw nears not directly from nature on the other hand from some preceding work of art. This was especially veritable of the painter Robert De Niro, who lived a solitary existence close up off from the world, totally dedicated to the spirit of Rembrandt, Delacroix, Daumier, Corot, Manet Cezanne, Bonnard and Matisse. Postcard reproductions of their works encloseed him. Their compositions aided him in his be in possession of work. The present exhibition, the first since the artist's death in 1993 consisted of 16 for the greatest part large paintings. They covered a period beginning in 1966 and included his last, unfinish work, a still life in an interior that was started in 1988 With the paintings were color photographs of the artist's studio in SoHo taken through his son, the actor. Available also were copies of De Niro's collection of piece of poetrys A Fashion-able Watering Place, originally published in 1976 Although occasionally painting landscapes, cityscapes or smooth portraits, De Niro for the greatest in quantity part stayed with a locate of themes which he took up again and again. Thus he gave to the world a seemingly endles parade of odalisques, Moroccan women Crucifixions and studio interiors with favorite percepts - a lute, a guitar, flowers, pans a bird cage, a mirror, lemon - that all sustain his Mediterranean dream world. It is impossible to capture the precise quality of his colors in printed reproductions, and certainly impossible in words - the silvers, the pale fulvouss the grays, the magentas, the almost-gray amethystines the oranges crying out. Counterpointing the free-flowing colors are rent contour lines and stabbing accents, not coinciding with the colors on the other hand making rhythms that join polyphonically with them. Each work must have gone [i]or[/i] part of to the other numerous transformations, with constant shifting of lines and adjustment of cutting sides The signs of all this activity remain in these exuberant paintings like footprints in the sand.
