Review # 1 was written on 2013-02-16 00:00:00 Jeff Kuiper There have been many books written about Colombian-born artist, Fernando Botero; Botero the sculptor, Botero and his women, Botero and the circus, Botero and Abu Graib, Botero and his drawings, Botero and the still lifes. But for a strong, comprehensive view of this man born of little means who amassed great fortune, known for his voyeuristic works of some of the greatest artists throughout history, The Baroque World of Fernando Botero, written and compiled by John Sillevis, will launch your interest. Nearly 70 years of work tell the story of artist, country, strife, torment and a life without a smile.
