The prolific Colombian painter and sculptor was the most celebrated and successful living Latin American artist of the 21st century. Suffice it to say, you know a Botero when you see one. Born in Medellín, Colombia in 1932, Botero left matador school to become an artist; traveling through Europe on a scholarship as a teenager, he found inspiration in the works of masters such as Giotto, Piero della Francesca, Vermeer and Ingres. In the 1960s he moved to New York, where he refined his signature ‘boterismo’ style marked by exaggerated, voluptuous forms, masterful painterly technique and a sly sense of humor. Swipe to see ‘Cuatro Músicos (Four Musicians)’ from one of the artist’s most celebrated series in 1984, which starred in our Latin American Art auction in 2006. An earlier work, ‘La casa de las Gemelas Arias’, still holds the auction record for a painting by the artist, having sold at Sotheby’s New York in 2014 for $2.1 million.」9月16日 3時42分
