FIVE THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT FERNANDO BOTERO
An introduction to perhaps South America’s best-known artist, whose paintings and sculptures address
subjects ranging from the Old Masters to bullfighting and domestic life — illustrated with works in our
upcoming sale.
1. Artist Fernando Botero had a tough start to life.
Botero was born in 1932 in Medellin, Columbia. Located in a
valley of the Andes mountain range, Medellin was at that time a
relatively small and isolated city. His father, David, was a traveling
salesman who died suddenly at the age of 40, leaving a
four-year-old Bolero, his two brothers and his mother, who worked
as a seamstress, destitute.
2. Bolero was enrolled to train as a bullfighter
Botero began drawing and painting watercolors as a young child.
In 1944 an uncle, who had taken on an important role in family life
following the death of his father, enrolled him in a training school
for bullfighters, only to recognize that his nephew was more
interested in drawing and painting bulls than in fighting them.
Botero’s first works — watercolors of bulls and matadors — were Fernando Botero (B.1932)
sold by a man who traded tickets to bullfights. In 1948, when he Seated Woman
was just 16, he had his first illustrations published in one of the Bronze
most important newspapers in Medellin. Three years later, he had Edition four of six
his first one-man show in Bogotá. (15x8½x11 in.)
3. Studying the Old Masters was revelatory for Botero’s art
At the ago of 20, after winning second prize in Bogotá’s Salón Nacional de Artistas, Botero booked his passage
on a boat to Europe, traveling with a group of fellow artists. During a year in Madrid he passed his days copying
the Prado’s Old Masters. He then moved to Paris and on to Florence to study the Masters of the Italian
Renaissance. This was a revelatory period for the artist, who had previously only seen European art through
reproduction. While Botero was enrolled in art schools for periods during these early years, he considers himself
to be primarily self-taught.

4. Botero’s 'eureka’ moment came with
a mandolin.
Botero’s early artistic inspiration came from both Latin
America and Europe. The Mexican muralists, as well as
the Spanish master Pablo Picasso and Juan Gris were
among those who first sparked Botero’s creative
imagination. Not unlike Picasso, whose Cubist
breakthrough came after experimenting with the
construction of a guitar. Botero had his artistic ‘eureka’
moment with a mandolin. In 1956 while he was living
in Mexico City, Botero painted a mandolin with an
unusually tiny sound hole, allowing the instrument to
suddenly take on exaggerated proportions. Thus began
the artist’s lifelong exploration of volume.

5. Botero doesn’t paint ‘fat’ people — he paints volume. (15¾x11¾ in.)
Botero is recognized throughout the world for his singular style incorporating rotund, whimsical figures and
objects which are often suffused with a subtle brand of satire. By manipulating space and perspective, he
draws attention to the monumentality of his figures, showing them in spaces that seem too small to contain
them. He has remained adamant that he does not ‘paint fat people’; what he paints, he insists, is ‘volume’,
and the ‘sensuality of form’. He has explored volume and sensuality of form in subjects as diverse as the
circus, reinterpretations of Old Masters, nudes, Latin American street scenes, domestic life, bordellos and
portraits of political figures.
