Accompanying Fernando Botero's first Belgian exhibition, this catalogue invites visitors to explore the Colombian artist's entire career and the sources of his original style, dedicated to exalting, in all subjects, the formal qualities of volumes.
Five new essays by international specialists, approaching Botero's work from as many different points of view, shed new light on a teeming repertoire of images that is already part of our collective imagination, but which, at first glance, seems to escape the conventional codes of modern painting.
"Beyond forms", and far from any preconceived ideas, we discover a work where great formal freedom never deviates from the rigorous mastery of traditional techniques; where the apparent simplicity is the result of an in-depth study of the history of art and popular cultures; where the bias towards figuration and the desire to create a work accessible to everyone are born from a constant reflection on the achievements of the art of its time and its role in society.
So many keys to reading to better appreciate, through this book, this caress of colors and shapes unique in its genre, which we never tire of admiring.
