Botero Awareness (in memory of Fernando Botero)

I was not

aware of

Botero

until I

visited

Medellin

where he is

famous for

his art and

his largesse,

one could say

his largesse

is nigh on

bottomless

but his art

it is not.

Fernando Botero, the Colombian artist, died on Friday. He was 91.

The photos were taken on a trip to Colombia.

May Botero rest in peace on soft, warm cushions. Wish our local sculpture park could get one of his works.

his art is certainly distinctive; Hey ! I’m glad you’re back — just reading a poem of yours from ’21:’Tree Lot’ , it’s a ripper !!!
