  • he Baroque World Of Fernando BoteroAt Nevada Museum Of Art
    May 11, 2010

    Colombian artist Fernando Botero has become known worldwide for domestic and social scenes rendered in gentle colors and populated by extravagantly rounded figures. Both amusing and disturbing, Botero⁳ paintings and sculpture create an accessible but often enigmatic world that encourages viewers to make their own interpretations of his images. Although he spends most of his time outside his native country, Botero (b 1932) is first and foremost a proud Colombian, his heart and art inspired by good times and bad and the natural beauty of that country. A good summation of the artist⁳ ample talent is reflected in ⁔he Baroque World of Fernando Botero,†on view at the Nevada Museum of Art in Reno, Nev., through July 25. Organized and circulated by Art Services International in Alexandria, Va., it comprises 100 paintings, drawings and sculpture.
