Robert "Bob" Stanley
American, 1932 - 1997
Robert “Bob” Stanley (1932–1997) was an influential American Pop Art painter and printmaker born in Yonkers, New York. Trained at Columbia University, Oglethorpe College, the Brooklyn Museum Art School, and the Art Students League of New York, he developed a signature style of bold, color-saturated acrylic works derived from newspaper photographs and commercial imagery.
Stanley emerged as a pioneering Pop Art figure in the 1960s, one of the earliest artists to transform press images into large-scale paintings characterized by flat, vivid tones and simplified geometry. His imagery often featured cultural icons and everyday media sources, echoing the aesthetic of contemporaries like Warhol and Lichtenstein.
Stanley's works were exhibited widely at major venues including the Whitney Museum of American Art and the Art Institute of Chicago. His art is held in prominent collections such as MoMA, the Whitney, the Corcoran, and the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth. He also participated in landmark exhibitions like the 4th documenta in Kassel in 1968.
