Fernando Botero est un artiste au style très personnel. Pendant plus de 60 ans, la technique «boteriste» du Colombien est entrée chez les collectionneurs, dans les institutions et les espaces publics avec son approche unique, pulpeuse et exagérée du corps humain. Grâce à ses créations obèses, Botero est devenu l'un des artistes les plus reconnus d'Amérique latine, et ses oeuvres d'art ont été exposées dans des lieux grandioses du monde entier, dont Park Avenue à New York et les Champs-Élysées à Paris. Cet ouvrage de la Petite Collection 2.0 de TASCHEN offre une initiation essentielle à cette figure éminente parmi toutes celles qui incarnent l'art contemporain. Retraçant l'oeuvre de Botero, depuis ses premières caricatures d'animaux jusqu'à ses récentes sculptures gigantesques en bronze, le livre approfondit les influences multiples de l'artiste, de Paulo Uccello à l'expressionisme abstrait, et rend hommage à l'humour, l'ironie, la vision et la finesse critique qui nourrissent ses compositions, aussi absurdes que soient leurs proportions. À propos de la collection Chaque volume de la Basic Art Series de TASCHEN contient: une chronologique détaillée de la vie et de l'oeuvre de l'artiste qui rend compte de son importance culturelle et artistique une biographie concise une centaine d'illustrations couleur accompagnées de légendes explicatives
