Ronald Gabe (1945 in Winnipeg, Manitoba – 1994), publicly known as Felix Partz, was a Canadian artist and cofounder of the artistic collective General Idea with Jorge Zontal and AA Bronson.
During his studies, Partz created Some Art That I Like (1967), a series of copies of more famous works and an example of appropriation.
[3] The artist traveled in Europe and North Africa before settling in Toronto by 1969, where he ultimately became a member of the collective General Idea.
[4] Partz was photographed by collaborator AA Bronson in the final three weeks of his life, laying in bed alongside many of his favorite clothes and objects, including a photograph taken a few hours after his death, now held by the Whitney Museum.
[3] Though graphic, the image is considered one of General Idea's most significant works, documenting the devastation of the AIDS epidemic in the 1980s and 1990s.
