Artists in conversation
Gaston Lachaise
French-American · b. 1882
Lachaise created bronze figurative sculptures celebrating exaggerated, voluptuous female forms with smooth surfaces and classical sensibility, directly paralleling Botero's reclining woman in both medium and the glorification of abundant feminine physicality.
Tom Otterness
American · b. 1952
Otterness works extensively in bronze with rounded, exaggerated figurative forms and dark patinas, sharing Botero's commitment to bold sculptural volume and a playful yet classical approach to the human body in three dimensions.
Niki de Saint Phalle
French · b. 1930
Saint Phalle's Nana sculptures celebrate full figured, voluptuous female forms with joyful exaggeration, closely echoing Botero's aesthetic of amplified femininity and the sculptural celebration of rounded, generous bodily proportions.
