Botero Boxed Set: Paintings and Works on Paper. Bullfight and Circus have been successfully published as single books, but this is the first deluxe set by the artist. Known as "Maestro", Fernando Botero is the most famous living artist today and his signature style is recognised the world over. He continues to have exhibitions throughout the world in all the major museums and art galleries.
In these rich assemblages luxuriously presented in a luscious lucite slipcase with the artist's renowned signature silkscreened on the outside of the box, the reader will find an assemblage of the artist's work on the only two theme topics that offer enough variety and expanse to be able to be offered as the subject of an individual book and have never before been published (each book) as a complete collection on the subject. Botero's constant exploration of volume has made his artworks the most well-known by the widest general public in the world. Following in the tradition of great painters inspired by the circus - Renoir, Seurat, Lautrec, Picasso, Chagall, Leger, and Calder, among others - Botero explores light, colour, style, and space with a poignancy that highlights through the extravagant proportion of his figures the exceptional beauty of the human body. These are all creations that are instantly recognisable as the work of a master. 1932 is the most famous living artist of our time, whose distinctive figures are instantly recognizable. His work is internationally praised and has been spotlighted by The New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Art in America, and BBC Newsnight as well as by Sotheby's in New York, the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Smithsonian Institution, The Museum of Modern Art, and The Guggenheim in Bilbao and New York, amongst others. At the start of his career, the Colombian artist studied at the Academia de San Fernando in Madrid before traveling to Paris and Florence to expand upon his understanding of fine art.
In 1958, he gained widespread recognition for his first prize piece at the Salon de Artistas Colombianos. The author of Circus: Paintings and Works on Paper (Glitterati Incorporated, 2013), Botero continues to be an active member of the art community and works primarily in Monte Carlo and Italy. 1917 is an American author and journalist.
