Robert Michener (1935-2021) "Fat Lady", 1961, Oil on Canvas, 14 x 10". Signed lower left, Au verso inscriptions: R. Michener Fat Lady 14 x 10 ins. 1961. Label attached reads Robert R. Michener 822 High St., Bellingham, WA. ”Fat Lady”.

The painting is featuring a nude pregnant woman seated in a chair (possibly the artist’s wife Sally Michener). A very early work by the artist and of unusual subject matter, perhaps an art school piece.

Robert Michener, celebrated for his dynamic abstract works, significantly influenced modern art with his masterful interplay of color and texture, earning a prominent place in art history. In 2013, his paintings "Fly Fishing mid-May", dated 1996, and "Gentle on My Mind", dated 1970, were donated to the Surrey Art Gallery and were designated cultural property under the Canadian Cultural Property Export Review Board as significant works of art.
