Fernando Botero - Bullfight: Paintings and Works on Paper

In his youth, Fernando Botero developed a passion and curiosity for bullfighting that has remained with him throughout his illustrious, six-decade career. The artist was profoundly influenced by the spectacle of the bullring—the vivid colors, the dynamic movement, the beauty and violence, bravery and fear, the fine line between life and death. Bullfight features more than 140 oil paintings and 35 drawings by Botero, providing a gorgeous look at the artist’s iconic subject, the tauromaquia, or bullfight.

AS/COA and Glitterati will host the book launch of Bullfight: Paintings and Works on Paper by Fernando Botero. A book signing session will follow the launch.

Speakers:

• Maya Jimenez, Assistant Professor of Art History, Kingsborough Community College
• Teresita Levy, Associate Director, CLACLS, The Graduate Center; Assistant Professor, Latin American, Latino and Puerto Rican Studies, Lehman College
