Fernando Botero (Colombian, 1932 - ) is a world-renowned sculptor and painter known for his stylization of figures and objects. His body of work ranges from daily life in Colombia to art historical references and social issues, all unified by the defining rotundity of his subjects. This stylization, known as "Boterismo", is often interpreted as a pointed social commentary. “An artist is attracted to certain kinds of form without knowing why,” says Botero. “You adopt a position intuitively; only later do you attempt to rationalize or even justify it.”
