Synopsis
The work of contemporary Colombian artist Fernando Botero is well known throughout the world. His exaggerated rendering of fleshy human, animal, and still-life figures has become an unmistakable characteristic of his style. This beautifully illustrated volume is one of the few to focus solely on Botero's sculpture, which provides an ideal medium for his exploration of space and volume. The book showcases works in small and medium format as well as the famous monumental works that have made Botero the leading sculptor of the 20th century.

Review
"In art, as long as you have ideas and think, you are bound to deform nature. Art is deformation." So says Fernando Botero--artist of voluptuous bodies and distorted landscapes, whose paintings and sculptures challenge our conceptions of size and space. Collected within this colorful edition are 62 works from Latin America's best-known living artist. Commentaries on every featured piece give fascinating insight into the world of Botero--a place of opulence, abundance, and fantasy. --Naomi Gesinger
