Book excerpt: Bullfight: Paintings and Works on Paper is Glitterati's second collection of works by world-renowned Colombian artist Fernando Botero. Featuring more than 140 oils paintings and 35 drawings, this book is a comprehensive look at another of the artist's most iconic subjects. In his youth, Botero developed a passion for bullfighting that has remained with him throughout his illustrious, six-decade career. The artist was profoundly influenced by the spectacle of the bullring - the vivid colors, the dynamic movement, the beauty and violence, bravery and fear. In Botero's signature style, the figures of the bullfight appear inflated and voluptuous, a grandiose exploration of scale, space, and volume. Matadors and picadors, horses and bulls, spirited crowds and striking portraits - all are exaggerated and exalted by the hand of the artist. As Jose Manuel Caballero Bonald writes, "His task is not to reproduce reality as it appears before the naked eye but rather to reinvent or reconstruct it according to his personal experience and accumulated feelings. In this sense there is no painter more truly Colombian than Botero. And yet, the more genuinely local his art is, the more universal it becomes."
Book Synopsis The Baroque World of Fernando Botero by : John Sillevis
Download or read book The Baroque World of Fernando Botero written by John Sillevis and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 Botero’s work—commentary on colonialism, political instability in Latin America, and the vernacular artistic traditions of the region, as well as European art history. Accompanying the artist’s first American retrospective in over thirty years, The Baroque World of Fernando Botero is the most extensive study of his life and work to date. Drawn exclusively from Botero’s private collection, the 100 works featured in this book, including previously unpublished paintings and drawings, represent the full scope of his oeuvre from a uniquely personal perspective.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. Three essays examine the artist’s creative life, from the aesthetic environment in which Botero developed his unique style to his catalyzing influence on the Colombian art world of the 1960s and 70s.

Book excerpt: "One of the most popular artists alive today, Fernando Botero creates paintings with a powerful monumentality that immediately captures the viewer. The joyfully rotund humans who populate his canvasses are among the most recognizable figures in twentieth-century art. But it is women in particular who have always fascinated Botero and make up the core of his long career. This deluxe volume, the first devoted solely to this theme, includes 50 unpublished works and a total of more than 150 paintings, drawings and sketches. With their bulbous figures and solid flesh, Botero's women evoke a primal sensuality and voluptuousness. But, they are also betrayed with a playful sense of humor and underlying irony. Never voyeuristic, his paintings are more complex celebrations of the female form - its palpable plentitude, its sensual exuberance, and its impenetrable mystery." -- back cover.

Book Synopsis Botero in the Museo Nacional de Colombia by : Fernando Botero
Download or read book Botero in the Museo Nacional de Colombia written by Fernando Botero and published by Villegas Asociados. This book was released on 2004 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I am not going turn Colombia's suffering into a business, declared Ferdinand Botero, and so he donated these powerful paintings to the National Museum of Colombia in Bogota rather than sell them. Botero created these intensely personal pieces in private over the last several years and this catalog is the first presentation of them to the art world. As an artist deeply connected to his native country, these images are quickly seen as Botero's wish for redemption from Colombia's current social crisis. Many of these images will startle the eyes that expect only Botero's joyous, voluminous portraits. The truths in these works overcome all preconceptions of his style: these are startling pictures of civil strife, as intensely realized as Goya's Disasters of War and as spontaneous and immediate as Picasso's Guernica was in 1939. "--Publisher's description.
Download or read book Botero written by Fernando Botero and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fernando Botero has never been in fashion in academic/art critic circles because his work is too accessible, too easy to like. Almost all of his work has a cartoonish quality that is disarming, often humorous, and easily accessible to people unschooled in the arcane art theories of the moment. Indeed, who wants critics and theoreticians around to distract one from the sheer enjoyment of what Botero has to offer? And enjoyment is what this book is about. Botero's drawings are charming in both their subject matter and their execution, and this book shows them off superbly. Mixtures of watercolor, pencil, charcoal, or pastel, on paper or often on raw canvas, their techniques are varied and interesting. Admittedly their quality is somewhat variable, but at their best they are wry, eloquent, and riveting.
Book Synopsis Botero: the Search for a Style (1948-1963) by : Christian Padilla
Download or read book Botero: the Search for a Style (1948-1963) written by Christian Padilla and published by Skira. This book was released on 2020-04-21 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of how Fernando Botero developed his iconic "Boterismo" style Colombian painter and sculptor Fernando Botero (born 1932) is one of the best-known and most celebrated living Latin American artists. His distinctive visual style of softly rounded, inflated shapes--so idiosyncratic that it is described as "Boterismo"--is instantly recognizable all around the world. But in spite of the visual familiarity of Botero's work--or perhaps, in part, because of it--Botero is, in some ways, a largely unknown artist. How did he transition from the naturalistic illustrations of his teenage years to his mature Boterismo style? Botero: The Search for a Style tells the story of the artist's search for his own unique visual identity in the first 15 years of his career. Assimilating the influences of pre-Columbian and Spanish colonial art, the work of Diego Rivera and the Mexican muralists, and the Old Masters at the Prado Museum and the Louvre, Botero gradually developed his distinctive understanding of form and volume. Botero: The Search for a Style excavates the hidden histories within Fernando Botero's inimitable style.

Download or read book Botero written by Rudy Chiappini and published by Skira Editore. This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Botero has gained international fame, capturing the whimsy of life by painting corpulent and sometimes comical figures. The dilation of his subjects gives the figures an abstract, unreal, and even grotesque dimension. Studies in beauty and terror, Botero's monumental figures can be sensual, and many are filled with pain and sorrow. This monograph presents the paintings realized in the last thirty years and created using his own unique language, which is a distinguishing feature of his work and an extraordinary blend of Latin American tradition and European painting.

Book excerpt: Culled from extensive conversations, the accompanying text brings to the reader the voice of an artist who regards painting as a "physical necessity," declaring that "when I think of reality, I think of a painted reality." Many of these images - of generals and prostitutes, lovers and solitary men, horses and cows, bishops and ladies gathered in gardens - have never been published before.
