Fernando Botero’s distinctive style—smooth inflated shapes with unexpected shifts in scale—reflects the Colombian artist’s constant search to give volume presence and reality. This program combines commentary by Botero himself with abundant examples of his paintings and sculptures to examine the remarkable life and work of a world-renowned visionary. By integrating and reworking artistic themes from the Middle Ages, the Quattrocento, the Latin American colonial period, and the 20th century, Botero continues to flesh out his conception of a remarkably monumental and exaggerated world of pleasure and plenty.
