FERNANDO BOTERO'S
"CHUBBY VIEW" OF LIFE
Colombian artist, Fernando Botero,
is often criticized for his controversial subject matter
(drug lord Pablo Escobar's rooftop killing,
the Abu Ghraib atrocities at Guantánamo Bay, etc.),
but revered and respected for his "chubby view"
on life and classical art.
At the Botero Museum in Bogotá,
his giant canvasses feature whimsical 'fattened' subjects,
including his own self-portrait,
peering around a chubby nude female.
He's even re-done the Mona Lisa
(although she's put on a few pounds.)
Supermodel body!haha
ReplyDeleteI love the Mona painting!

I like very much Botero's work and I also very much enjoyed your pictures, especially the third one. It's like a painting over another painting, if I can say so. Have a nice day, Rick xx
ReplyDeleteI must say that I like Botero's work. Although the Mona Lisa has put on a good few pounds she is still instantly recognizable.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend.
