Fernando Botero Colombian Modern Day Painter 5 Stars

Fernando Botero Colombian Modern Day Painter 5 Stars

Today, I wanted to review some cute paintings by Fernando Botero. Botero is one of the oldest, active painters alive. Even today, he is producing new art pieces. His last series of paintings featured the prisoners of Guantanamo Bay. He was critiquing the inhumane treatment of prisoners. Anyhow, Botero is known for his unique figurative style. His style is so unique that it is called "Boterismo". He is so proud of his style that he likes to call himself, "The most Colombian of Colombian artists". His last exhibition took place in Kunstforum, Vienna. I think that is enough bio info on Botero. Now, I will review his fat people paintings.




The first painting worth reviewing is called Dancers. Botero has made several paintings targeting the same subject matter. Anyhow, this painting is about the intimacy of dancing. The guy is so focused on his dance that he does not notice the cigars and the beer bottle on the floor. Both dancers are having their own private moment. The scenery in the background too goes with the moment. The red dress of the maiden stands for passion. In any case, this lovely painting by Botero deserves 5 stars rating.

This painting shows some Bishops Bathing. Apparently, this is a genre painting. The style of this painting is naive art. It is supposed to look very sweet and innocent. The way the Bishops are playing do look innocent. The issue with this painting is that the Bishops look ridiculous. You never imagine seeing Bishops playing like that in the water. I guess even Bishops like to relax from time to time. It is cute how the one with the blue gown is blessing the water. Behind him, we see one of his acolytes. In any case, this cute painting by Botero deserves 5 stars rating.

In this painting, Botero is showing a Car Bomb. Like we all know, Colombia has been in a civil war for a really long time. This painting was made because there was a Car Bombing attack by the rebels. The painting focuses on the car and the destruction it laid in its wake. It is interesting how the car looks "fat". Everything is painted in Botero's unique style. In the background, the only building left standing is a Catholic Church Bell Tower. Its arc stands ominously over the city. Soon, its bells will be tolling over the victims of this disaster. In any case, this depressing painting by Botero deserves 5 stars rating.

This painting shows a portrait of all the members of the circus. The scenery is indoors. I find cute the dwarf couple in the foreground. In any case, this cute genre painting by Botero deserves 5 stars.

Above, we see another dancing painting. The couple's poses are very similar to the first painting I reviewed. In this painting, we see another feet of a dancer. It shows you that there are other people dancing. The watch shows you how long they have been dancing. It also alludes to the passage of time. For the dancers, time has stood still for them. In any case, this cute painting by Botero deserves 5 stars rating.

This cute painting shows a dancer. It is a bummer how the beam is holding her up. The dancing pose shows that she is very flexible. Not many dancers can raise their legs up so high. Her serious face shows how focus she is in her art. This cutie by Botero deserves 5 stars rating.

This painting shows the death of Pablo Escobar. Pablo Escobar was a famous gangster. As such, he died a very violent death. This painting shows his infamous death. He has his gun raised up. He died in the midst of battle. The scenery shows how this figure towered over everyone. Despite his power and influence, he could not escape his death. In any case, this cool painting by Botero deserves 5 stars rating.

In this cute painting, we see a flamenco dancer. Behind her, we see the rest of the ensemble. On the background, we see a guy leaving with his lover girl. It is implied that they are going to sleep together. In any case, this lovely painting by Fernando Botero deserves 5 stars rating.

In this painting, we see a Matador. He looks very serious. He is about to enter the arena to fight the bull. I think it is sad that so many bulls have to suffer and die to make this sport possible. However, visually speaking I find bull fighting pretty cool. What I liked is the dress of this matador. It has a lot of lovely ornaments. In any case, this lovely painting by Botero deserves 5 stars rating.

This painting is very simple. A woman has fallen off the balcony. Her face looks panicked as she sees the floor approaching. A guy about to exit the house is looking at her fall. Judging by her dress, she is a streetwalker. In any case, this cute painting by Botero deserves 5 stars rating.

This painting shows a newborn nun. She was born with her habit and everything. She really does look pious. She is resting inside a newborn baby basket. It happens often enough that girls are abandon in nunneries, in poor Catholic countries. The church always takes care of them. This painting also shows the absurd idea that some women are born to be nuns. As such, he illustrated a girl who was born to be a nun. In any case, this cute painting by Botero deserves 5 stars rating.

In this cute painting, we see Botero dressed like a Matador. He wanted to show that he was manliness among men. In the Hispanic world, Matadors are the epitome of manliness. Behind him, we see his second wife Sofia. In the floor, we see paints and brushes. This lovely self portrait of Fernando Botero deserves 5 stars rating.

In this cute painting, we see an art collector. In the background, we see a lot of well know paintings made to match Botero's style. They are all pretty unique. As for the collector, she is a humble Catholic widow. You can tell based on her dress and her cross. However, the fact that she can buy so many paintings shows that she is filthy rich. In any case, this lovely Botero painting deserves 5 stars rating.

Above, we see another dancing couple. Around them, we see two more dancers. It is pretty odd how they do not seem to have a reflection. 5 stars for Botero.

In this lovely painting, we see a Matador getting impaled by a bull. He died instantly when the horns pierced him. Behind his cape you can see his soul rising to the heavens. Heaven is greeting him with open arms. This lovely painting by Botero deserves 5 stars rating.

In this painting, we see a group of women sewing. They are the designers of this dress shop. What I liked best is the odd fat cat glaring at us. Cats are freaky little animals. 5 stars.

In this cool painting, we see the entire family. In a tree, we see a snake. It is about to bite the mother. What I find odd is the huge dog behind the boy. In any case, this lovely painting by Fernando Botero deserves 5 stars rating.

In this lovely painting, we see a bunch of musicians. They all look pretty cool. I find very odd the bird on the floor. The oranges on the floor are also pretty odd. 5 stars for Botero.

In this painting, we see a matador delivering the final blow. Behind him, we see other people taunting the bull. Behind him, we see a girl admiring the bull fighters. She is really enjoying the show. The arena is also pretty big. This cool painting by Botero deserves 5 stars rating.

In this last painting, we see a woman standing. She is wearing a lovely dress. Her blonde hair is really pretty. She deserves 5 stars rating. I hope that you liked this short Botero review.
