Fernando Botero Angulo (19 April 1932 – 15 September 2023) was a Colombian figurative artist and sculptor. His signature style, also known as "Boterismo", depicts people and figures in large, exaggerated volume, which can represent political criticism or humor, depending on the piece. Botero was considered the most recognized and quoted artist from Latin America in his lifetime
Not gonna lie, Botero New Works on Canvas made me look at the junk drawer in my own kitchen differently. A. M. Escallon digs into why we hoard stuff, from old chargers to ugly mugs, and the chapter about a woman who couldn't toss her late husband's coat made me tear up a little over a pile of clutter. The book gets a touch repetitive in the middle. For anybody who's ever said "I might need that." Skip it if you want a hardcore decluttering plan.
