Fernando Botero

Untitled

1976

Working in his preferred medium of graphite on paper, Botero creates dimensional modeling through careful shading that emphasizes the rounded, inflated qualities central to his artistic vocabulary. The work exemplifies the Colombian master's ability to convey monumentality and sensuality within intimate works on paper.
