'Still Life' and the Penguin Cafe
This is one of Heindel's recurring credos. His canvases based on David Bintley's balletic plea for a range of endangered species, was a turning point which shifted an already hugely popular artist into a different, deeper artistic landscape. This was his first major canon of work after the death of his son Toby in 1990."

On stage a trio of female zebra characters in their constantly agitated state seek shade beneath the acacia forms whilst the protective male patrols. In his painting Heindel chose a surreal twist, foregoing the true legs and feet of the dancer. Heindel's title 'White Mischief' was a direct reference to the novel of the same name by James Fox, the decadence and immorality within the pages in part reflected on the stage at Covent Garden.

Robert Heindel American Painter (1938 - 2005) Oil on Board 36 inches (w) x 57 inches (h) Consider the doomed Utah Longhorn Ram, conceived by Bintley as female, perhaps symbolising the animal's vulnerability, or probably stemming from nothing more profound than Bintley's irrepressible urge to provoke Heindel has seized that contradiction, has accented the feminine with a juicy, lush background orange, frilled the seductive sway of the hips and riveted the eye on the milky globes of the creatures breasts. Then you see the cloven hooves and the beasterly head with its blood tipped horns, staring blankly away into a world, or hell, of its' own'.
