Robert Nathan’s "Hooded Oriole" is located on the second floor of the Central Broward Regional Park's VIP Viewing Room. This vibrantly colored artwork was created with oil on canvas and fabric collage. The amalgam of images represents the artist's memories of friends and colorful views from the artist's garden.
"The primed canvas surface is built-up with acrylic polymer and clothes once worn by lovers and friends who died with AIDS. The oil painting is then begun on top while looking at cuttings from my garden."
