Frank Sinatra
1915-1998 | American
Abstract with Squares
Signed "Sinatra 86" (lower right)
Acrylic on canvas
Famed as one of the greatest American pop singers of the 20th century, Frank Sinatra was not only an iconic entertainer but also an accomplished painter. An avid art lover, Sinatra became a significant collector after his rise to fame, acquiring modern masterpieces from across the world. He also spent his free time creating dynamic compositions like this one, inspired by the bold aesthetics of the great abstractionists to inform his own unique vision.
This colorful composition, Abstract with Squares, showcases Sinatra's mastery of precision and color. The repeated shapes and colors create a dynamic sense of movement, amplified by the work's impressive scale. Evoking the bold, minimalist geometry of masters like Piet Mondrian and Frank Stella, this striking canvas is a simple yet vibrant original from the famed singer.
By the mid-1960s, Sinatra was an icon. He famously became the founding member of the "Rat Pack," an informal group of Las Vegas entertainers that also included Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Peter Lawford and others. Sinatra briefly retired from his long-standing gig at Caesars Palace in the early 1970s, and it was during this period away from the stage when he painted the present work. He eventually returned and would continue to perform until 1995, when he played his last show at the age of 79. He died just three years later of a heart attack at the age of 82. Today, Sinatra memorabilia, particularly such personal objects as his paintings, are highly prized by both lovers of his music and lovers of fine art.
