A deluxe compendium of more than one hundred of the finest works by the acclaimed artist explores a world of feminine beauty in portraits featuring his joyfully rotund figures, offering a selection of paintings that includes a number of unpublished works, archival photographs, special vellum inserts, and an introduction by respected Latin American author Carlos Fuentes.

The drawings and paintings illustrated in this newly revised and beautifully designed volume provide a wonderful chronicle of Fernando Botero's creative life from 1982 to the present. Culled from extensive conversations, the accompanying text brings to the reader the voice of an artist who regards painting as a "physical necessity" declaring that "when I think of reality, I think of a painted reality." Many of these images of generals and prostitutes, lovers and solitary men, horses and cows, bishops and ladies gathered in gardens-have never been published before. Impassive and seemingly mute, Botero's people nevertheless inhabit their world with a fullness and sensuousness that is unforgettable and powerful.The matches and groups of works on these pages have been made by the artist himself, who has attended to the book with the same affection brought to each painting and drawing. In the process of creating this volume he has joined forces with Paola Gribaudo, the Turin-based designer who has collaborated with him for thirteen years. In oil or pastel on canvas, each stroke of the brush or movement of the hand is made with the knowledge that it will create another small but important part of the rich and enigmatic world for which he is so well known. Rounding out the volume are a list of illustrated works, list of exhibitions, and selected bibliography.As the reader turns these pages, a portrait of the artist as inventor of his own life emerges that is every bit as compelling as the pictures he has brought into being. How was this young Colombian transformed into an international artist who lives and works in new York, Paris, Monte Carlo, and Tuscany? We learn of the "journey within the journey." Of Botero drawing "like a painter, creating the volumes from the inside out." His studies of Caravaggio, Ingres, Van Eyck, and Goya inform his view that it is finally the familiar, local world that is universal and memorable.

Niccol- Machiavelli's seminal work, The Prince, argued that a ruler could not govern morally and be successful. Giovanni Botero disputed this argument and proposed a system for the maintenance and expansion of a state that remained moral in character. Founding an anti-Machiavellian tradition that aimed to refute Machiavelli in practice, Botero is an important figure in early modern political thought, though he remains relatively unknown. His most notable work, Della ragion di Stato, first popularised the term 'reason of state' and made a significant contribution to a major political debate of the time - the perennial issue of the relationship between politics and morality - and the book became a political 'bestseller' in the late sixteenth and the seventeenth century. This translation of the 1589 volume introduces Botero to a wider Anglophone readership and extends this influential text to a modern audience of students and scholars of political thought.

Having started during the 1970s as a result of his rotund sense of volume, Colombian artist Fernando Botero's sculpture work is explored in this beautiful book. It includes an essay by French art critic Jean-Clarence Lambert and constitutes the largest sample of Botero's sculpture work, from early small and medium size formats up until his recent monumental sculptures that have turned parks, plazas and streets of the largest cities in the world into real life museums.

1986, Abbeville Press, New York. Edward J. Sullivan. Cloth cover slip case. Putting his painting on hold, Botero devoted himself to sculpting between the years of 1975 to 1977. The exaggerated proportions of the forms in his paintings spilled over into his bronze sculptures, with the same sense of humor and entente. El gato is a bronze sculpture weighing 1.050 kilos, and measuring 390 x 150 x 190 centimeters and created in his workshop in Pietrasanta (Italy).

This collection of Fernando Botero's work on the theme of terrorism and violence in Colombia include 23 oil paintings and 27 drawings, which he has donated to the National Museum of Colombia in Bogotá. Botero did so out of the strong conviction that he would not profit from the country’s suffering by selling them. The volume represents a dramatic pictorial documentation of this suffering, and is a tribute to one of the few Colombian artists that has achieved lasting worldwide recognition.

Fernando Botero is an artist with his own style. For more than six decades, the Colombian’s “Boterismo” technique has captured collectors, institutions, and public spaces worldwide with a unique, fleshy, overblown approach to the human body. Through these corpulent creations, Botero has become one of the most recognized artists from Latin America, his artworks displayed in prominent places around the globe, including Park Avenue in New York City and the Champs-Élysées in Paris.This TASCHEN Basic Art edition offers an essential introduction to this leading figure of figures in contemporary art. Tracing Botero’s oeuvre from his earliest caricatures of animals through to recent large-scale bronze sculptures, the book examines the artist’s diverse array of influences, from Paolo Uccello to Abstract Expressionism, and celebrates the wit, irony, insight, and critical acumen that round out his compositions, however absurd the proportions.

One of the most celebrated living artists in Latin America, Fernando Botero has gained international fame capturing the whimsy of life by painting corpulent and comical figures. His wide ranging subject matter is deeply rooted in his South American heritage and includes portraits, bordello scenes, nudes, bullfights, landscapes and still lifes. The paintings and drawings collected in this book provide a comprehensive overview of the artist's work in both media and a fascinating glimpse into his unique artistic world. The book also includes an introduction that discusses Botero's place in contemporary art, a fascinating interview with the artist, biographical notes as well as six short stories by the artist, to conclude this compelling book on Botero's paintings and drawings.

A selection of the Colombian artist's portraits, still lifes, and sculptures shows how he developed his characteristic style of elephantine sadness

Botero is one of the most popular artists alive today and is exhibited in countless institutions throughout the world. He gained international fame painting corpulent and comical figures who embody the sometimes whimsical tragedy of life. The dilation of his subjects gives them abstract, unreal, and grotesque dimensions that are studies in beauty and terror. Botero imbues his monumental figures with an overabundant sensuality that reveals a gluttony of human truth―from torture to greed, pleasure to despair, absurdity, impassivity, and more. Botero had his first solo exhibit at the early age of nineteen and, by twenty, had been awarded second prize at the National Salon in Bogota. He spent time traveling to study the work of the old masters―eventually reinterpreting classic paintings in his gargantuan style. His continuing attraction to the Colombia of his youth is reflected in paintings rooted in small-town Colombian life―middle-class family groups, heads of state, prelates, madonnas, military men, prostitutes, and opulent still-lifes with exotic fruit.This monograph presents a unique collection of 170 works including his most recent paintings published here for the first time. These include his most recent subject, the circus, as well as images from the prison of Abu Ghraib, a powerful artistic response to violence and injustice. The works are comprised of paintings, drawings and six monumental sculptures created by the artist in his own unique language, a language which is an extraordinary blend of Latin American tradition and European painting.
