Botero is a Colombian figurative artist. (Don’t ask me, I copied that off Wikipedia). Okay, if you insist: is often taken to mean art which represents the human figure.
These artwork exhibition is at the Palace of Fine Arts, yes, in Mexico City.
And the story goes…(had to add flavor to the sculptures..)
“Searching for Botero’s model anyone can look alike. (not really certain but still..) No. not that one between the sculpture’s legs.
What beauty could have such dimensions and still look so soft?
And the greek girls would gossip about her Tan so perfectly evenly distributed… but even then will wonder if it was natural or artificial…
I don’t care, she says as she feels the greek girls’ sting-like eyes… Oh envy! Who wouldn’t like to have such a smooth and shiny skin… (and size?)
Let my brown noble steed take me away to a far unknown land… but!
… I should rest for the long journey. Let the sun’s rays heal the mark of wondering eyes…
…for the sun will wash away the doubts of my beauty, never concealed….
..faithful friend, faithful steed, be ready for my “hop” to depart away and never look back…
…and you stranger! hold thy hand! (there is an actual hand cleaning the sculpture) as I am a promised bouquet for the wondering….
Man… ride.. ride away, and see my road ahead foretelling the loving companion.
THE END.
(No animal was hurt during the getaway)
He’s art is awesome!!
So it is! Thank you for stopping by!
Those Greek girls are such jealous things!!
Oh! they are so mean! I can thing of the right word, just won’t say it!
Awesome photos and artistry.
Thank you. I am glad you visit!
very interesting art, great
Looks different, right? and somehow out of fashion, perhaps?
Your captions are perfect! I especially like the shot of one of Botero’s women with the Greek girls behind her whispering.
Those greek girls can be so.. so.. bad!
Cedric, estas fotos están preciosas, a mi me encanta la escultura y la pintura de Botero; sus obras reflejan fuerza y seguridad; no he podido ir a ver la exposición, fui hace algunos anios a verlo al museo de San Idelfonso. Que bueno que diste la vuelta a Bellas Artes, las fotos que tomaste son maravillosas.
Muchas gracias! Me acorde que me dijiste que te gustaba Botero. y cuando pase por ahi, por eso las tome!
Mil, mil, mil, gracias por acordarte!!!
Hablando de escribir “cuentos”; el cuento que escribiste esta muy bonito.
Interesting art, great shots and wonderful captions!
They helped a lot!, the sculptures.. thank you!
I love this post. It takes in the beauty and fullness (I had to say it!) of life.
Yes life.. so rich and full
Glad you like it…. thank you for stopping by!
These are some big butt sculptures if you get my drift!
I would have to agree. And I would say we would need a pic-nick table cloth to cover that humanity
Loved your commentary as much as the sculptures! Can’t be easy having to look at those skinny Greek girls all day!
Hahaha!! Things don’t change much with time….thank u for stopping by
Muy interesante… viendo la foto de esta esculptura de la mujer me dio hambre. Parece ser echa del chocolate…
hambre! de chocolate! como no lo pense! debi morderla!!!!
I prefer my women thinner than what they are in Botero’s art, but I must say that he has made some lovely paintings. I didn’t know about his sculptures untill now, so thanks for this post
Thank you! I am glad someone knows him! With a world so big, sometimes some artist are unnoticed!
Love it, thanks for the Botero art lesson!
You are welcome! but! what about “the” story?
great post! i really like botero’s sculptures and stumbled upon them a couple of times within the last month.
That is good to know! thank you for your kind comment!
Haha! Quirky comment there- the Greek girls gossiping about her perfect tan
Great pics!
I have come across this art before but I never knew they were ‘Botero’s sculptures’. That’s was pretty informative…
