The Baroque World of Fernando Botero at The Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center
"The unforgettable works of the Colombian painter, sculptor, and draftsman resonate with thought-provoking political and social commentary. His exaggeratedly rounded forms depict the comedy of human life – moving or wry, baroque in expression, sometimes with a mocking observation, sometimes with a deep, elementary emotion".
"Drawn
exclusively from Botero’s private collection, the 100 works featured in
this exhibition, including previously unpublished paintings and
drawings, represent the full scope of his oeuvre from a uniquely
personal perspective. Many of these—portraits of friends and family
members and remembered scenes—have remained in the artist’s possession
since their creation, while others he has bought back over the years as
markers of significant developments in his career". (FAC Website)
