Book Fernando Botero: Impossible Collection

Book Fernando Botero: Impossible Collection by Assouline

Description

Fernando Botero pursued excellence in art for sixty-five turbulent years, mastering numerous techniques and creating a formidable body of work of over 3,000 paintings, over 200 sculptures, and at least 12,000 drawings. Few artists have been able to create a world as distinctive as Botero's, instantly recognizable worldwide by the balance between inventive volumetric forms and a magnificent sense of color: meticulous compositions painted with brushstrokes almost invisible, an expression of sumptuousness and sensuality radiating a feeling of unity. Botero's art communicates monumentality and his sculpture accentuates it.

Having enjoyed an exceptional position as one of the most successful contemporary artists, Fernando Botero nevertheless continued to explore with the same "fighting" attitude of his beginnings. He wanted to learn a little more day by day because, for him, an artist was never “complete”, and the process of knowledge had no end. “You can never claim to know how to paint,” he said. “It is important to never lose your strong inner feeling or your determination to develop your personal style as an artist. »

This spectacular hand-bound Ultimate Collection volume, presented in a linen clamshell case, includes previously unpublished works and has been curated in collaboration with the renowned artist himself among Botero's most important works from each period of his unique work.

White gloves and an iconic canvas tote bag are included with every purchase of Assouline's ultimate collection.
