The Art of Fernando Botero

By Juan Carlos Botero

Fernando Botero (Medell n, Colombia, 1932) is the best known Latin American artist from the second half of the 20th century still active today. Coinciding with his 80th birthday, this publication pays tribute to the career of a painter, draughtsman and sculptor who has developed his own, instantly recognizable style, and who celebrates a remarkably vivid, vital reality through the exaltation of volume and color.

This biography will offer us an intimate and visual tour in Fernando Boteros's art through the words of his son Juan Carlos Botero who outlines his father's place in contemporary art, examines the main themes in his work, and discusses his artistic principles.
