About the Item

Title Roger Bonafé Modern Still Life with Hat Bottle and Flower Oil Pastel 1981 Key Details Artist: Roger Bonafé (French, b.1932), signed and dated 1981 Medium: Oil pastel on thick art paper Size: 22.5 x 30 inches Frame: Unframed Provenance: Private collection, France Condition: Good overall condition Description A refined and characterful still life by Roger Bonafé, dated 1981, demonstrating the artist’s distinctive balance of restraint and playful composition. Arranged across a simple tabletop, the composition brings together a bottle, a small vase with a single stylised flower, a bowler hat, and what appears to be a violin case or instrument form—objects that feel both personal and slightly theatrical. Bonafé reduces each element to essential shapes, outlined with confident, economical line work, allowing colour and placement to do the rest. The palette is both muted and deliberate: soft greys and earthy tones form the backdrop, while accents of yellow, red, and green introduce warmth and rhythm. The textured ground contrasts beautifully with the smoother, more solid forms of the objects, giving the work a tactile, layered quality typical of oil pastel on paper. There is a quiet narrative here—suggestive rather than explicit—hinting at the presence of a figure just out of view. This sense of absence, combined with the careful spacing of objects, gives the piece a contemplative and slightly poetic tone. A strong example of Bonafé’s mature style, this work reflects his move towards simplified compositions and richer tonal harmony. It would sit particularly well in interiors that favour modern European works with subtle personality and understated sophistication.
