The Baroque World of Fernando Botero $25.00 Colombian-born Fernando Botero (b. 1932) is a painter, sculptor, and draftsman renowned for his extravagantly rounded figures combining the polish and excess of Spanish colonial baroque with the social realism of the Mexican muralists. Their humorous exaggeration belies the more serious content of Boteroâs work—commentary on colonialism, political instability in Latin America, and the ve… |

About Fernando Botero
Fernando Botero was born the second of three children in Medellín, in the mountains of Colombia. His parents were David Botero and Flora Angulo. David Botero, a salesman who traveled by horseback, died when the boy was age four, and his mother worked as a seamstress. An uncle took a major role in his life. Although isolated from art as presented in museums and other cultural institutes, Botero was influenced by the Baroque style of the colonial churches and then the rich life of the city.
Fernando Botero
Angulo (born April 19, 1932) is a Colombian figurative artist, self-titled “the most Colombian of Colombian artists” early on. He came to national prominence when he won the first prize at the Salón de Artistas Colombianos in 1958. Working most of the year in Paris, in the last three decades he has achieved international recognition for his paintings, drawings and sculpture, with exhibitions across the world.[1] His art is collected by major museums, corporations and private collectors.
This is true in two senses. One is that ever since the artist settled into his signature style in the late 1950s, he’s been painting images of doll-like, Michelin-tire people in a wide variety of contemporary and historical settings and guises.
The second is that Botero seems absolutely tireless in his, er, hefty production. A traveling retrospective of his work, on view at the Toledo Museum of Art, underscores his immense energy and ego, while also emphasizing the generally narrow bandwidth of his sensibility. It feels like a heavy meal made of one ingredient.
The bath scene is an especially intense confrontation with human fleshiness in a constricted, claustrophobic space filled with the hard surfaces. The painting playfully contrasts the nude woman’s ampleness with the hungry, gaping mouths of the toilet and tub, which seem to leer sexually as they get ready to gobble her.
All subjects get the Botero treatment, which is to say the paintings are all populated by pneumatic people with enormous, rounded bodies and tiny facial features. All are painted in a smoothly-brushed style that is at once folksy-naive and highly polished.
Botero responded to Hersh’s article by saying, “I, like everyone else, was shocked by the barbarity, especially because the United States is supposed to be this model of compassion.” He was so upset about the injustices done in Iraq that he began creating a series of paintings that would forever mark these atrocities upon the collective consciousness of humanity. Each are titled Abu Ghraib and numbered 1 -50. The series is based upon actual testimonies that came out of the prison scandal but are his own interpretations of those events. Botero elected not to forgo his signature style of cartoon like characters, but instead uses the style to highlight the vulnerability of his subjects which are large, muscular, and exposed. They are bare and easily hurt.
