Artists in conversation
Gaston Lachaise
French-American · b. 1882
Lachaise created monumental bronze sculptures of the female nude with similarly exaggerated, voluptuous proportions that celebrate the rounded fullness of the human form. His recumbent and standing figures share Botero's obsession with amplified bodily volume as a sculptural and expressive statement.
Botero's contemporary comparison: Tom Wesselmann
American · b. 1931
Wesselmann created bold figurative works featuring voluptuous female nudes with exaggerated sensual curves, sharing Botero's focus on amplified feminine form as a central artistic language. His three dimensional sculptural works in particular echo the celebratory and unapologetic fullness found in Donna Sdraiata.
John De Andrea
American · b. 1941
De Andrea specializes in highly detailed figurative sculpture of the reclining and standing nude human form, sharing Botero's commitment to celebrating the unclothed body through sculptural tradition. His works explore similar themes of repose and bodily presence in contemporary figurative sculpture.
