- Summary
- This summer Kunsthal Rotterdam is proud to present a large-scale retrospective of the world-famous Colombian artist Fernando Botero (1932). This selection from Botero's own collection provides a panorama of the artist's personal favourites from his considerable oeuvre. "Botero: Celebrate Life!" will exhibit almost a hundred paintings, sketches and pastels as well as a few sculptures, including the enormous eye-catcher 'Caballo,' Botero's famous sculpture of a horse. 'Botero: Celebrate Life!' shows how Fernando Botero creates a magical world full of characters and scenes from daily life, of which politics and religion form an important part. Although his work appears at first sight to be airy and light-hearted, the violent history of his native country Colombia can be felt. His origin and background have influenced Botero profoundly, which finds expression directly in his works of the president, executions and weeping widows, and indirectly in his paintings of people partying, dancing with expressionless faces under the light of naked light bulbs. Exhibition: Kunsthal Rotterdam, The Netherlands (July 2 2016-11 September 2016).
