Fernando BOTERO (1932-2023) Still life and child, 1992 Painter and sculptor, born in 1932 in Medellin, Colombia. He went to Paris and then to New York. Fernando Botero began as an illustrator in 1948. In 1950 he undertook a tour of Europe which took him in particular to Madrid. In 1956/57 he stayed in Mexico. The discovery of Mexican mural painting definitively oriented his art towards this deformation of volumes which characterizes him. His often very precise realism mixes humor and the grotesque to stigmatize the ugliness and absurdity of the world.
