Summary: Through this biography, Juan Carlos Botero (Colombia 1960) explains the artistic approach of his father, Fernando Botero, clarifying the artist's universal appeal, whilst also offering us an insight into a body of work whose aim was to create a sense of beauty and generate pleasure. This book traces the career of this painter and sculptor, who created his own special style characterized by voluminous figures and highly voluptuous forms. As demonstrated by Juan Carlos Botero, the artist's importance is due to his capacity for work, his mastery of different techniques, the rich appeal of his characters and an output rooted in the great traditions of universal painting, especially the Italian Renaissance. The author also shows us how Botero's art is capable of delighting us and transcending all frontiers. The book dwells on the different themes that make up the artist's work, the different stages in his creative development, his aesthetic convictions and the variety of techniques he mastered (sculpture, painting and drawing). This biography is amply illustrated by a magnificent selection of works that perfectly define Botero's work.
