Late in his life, Fonseca painted four large paintings known as “The War Murals” depicting scenes of warfare. The individual works are titled Tank (oil on canvas, 208.2 x 269.2 cm) Fire (oil on canvas, 207 x 284.5 cm), Bucharest (oil on canvas, 208.2 x 279.4 cm), and Timișoara (oil on canvas, 210.8 x 271.7 cm). One writer described the anti-war theme in “The War Murals”, begun in 1989 and finished in 1993, as “the most powerful statement of their kind since Picasso’s great Guernica.” The murals were inspired by images of boy soldiers torn from the newspaper and by images of violence in Eastern Europe, including the public execution of Nicolae Ceauşescu. His sister recalled watching scenes of the upheavals in Eastern Europe on CNN with Bruno and wrote: “The War Murals – Bruno’s four larger narrative paintings inspired by the anti- communist upheavals – represent his greatest synthesis of abstract and representational painting, something he had struggled for throughout his working life.” Fonseca worked on the murals for several years, finishing them while he was suffering from the effects of AIDS. A public showing of “The War Murals” was the opening exhibition for the John McEnroe Gallery in SoHo in January 1994. Fonseca also had a solo show at New York’s Salander-O’Reilly in 1993.
