Maybe I still don't now WHY he chose this style, but I do know that artists are free to create as they please. It's the free spirits that are truly artists who push the barriers. I love the first ones with those darling white horses!<br /><br />Karena my friend, you are so kind to visit me! YES, I am going to keep updates on the book. I have to wait until I am done with school in early June in order to get the manuscripts organized then into the self-publishing company. The fun will be all the editing and revising and adding my own photos and those of willing blogger friends' whose art I want to feature.<br /><br />MUCH LOVE to you and I hope you are well!

This is an amazing artist, but I still cannot fathom why his subjects are so "round." Amazingly, Botero started depicting the rotund figures prior to the obesity epidemic. xoxo MaryMJH DesignArtshttp://mjhdesignarts.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7674180967642782492.post-15632366209111865802015-03-05T03:18:47.358-06:002015-03-05T03:18:47.358-06:00Very whimsical surprise faceVery whimsical surprise facePura Vidahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04423379787232688763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7674180967642782492.post-47432838320652175762015-03-04T10:17:03.790-06:002015-03-04T10:17:03.790-06:00Dear Karena,

Perhaps his unique perspective and large volume of work (no pun intended) has lead to his longevity. The lobby of the Turner media center in New York displays two of his sculptures, a male figure and a female figure that complement each other, and they are great favorites to all who see them.Mark D.
