Botero -Philosophy of the Creative Act
Marcel Paquet
Mallard Press
Botero is the best known and most highly regarded Latin American artist at work today.His entirely original style of painting bears correspondances to the school of Latin American writers headed by Garcia Marquez.For him the widdly imaginative is commonplace and is rendered as faithfully as one would an everyday landscape.His work is rooted in the fertile quasi-magical soil of his native Colombia.
Botero's world is an extraordinary place.His inflated figures are whimsical yet full of sorrow as they peer out on the improbabilities of the world around them,and his apparent naivete disguises penetrating cultural and political analysis.Intense and evocative,Botero's powerful work takes hold of the viewer and transforms commonly held notions about art and perception.
