 Elizabeth Catlett was inventive in her approach to the Black female form.

She often moved from a fascination with the roundness of a subject’s head, vibrant eyes, regal neck, textured hair, or prominent jawline—all features she found exuded dignity and grace—into the interpretive and universalizing abstraction that define her practice in both sculpture and printmaking.
Catlett’s women are powerful, but they also recline, sit, walk, stargaze, and stand unburdened by the weight of societal expectations. Her oeuvre offers a message that, for Black women, community care and rest are forms of political resistance.
See Catlett’s work up-close in Elizabeth Catlett: A Black Revolutionary Artist and All That It Implies through January 19, 2025.

覺得Fernando Botero筆下的女性份外親切。

 2005朋友從南美"寫給台灣的情書" 提到他的美術館. 貼一段他的話Fernando Botero

---2008.6.8
Fernando Botero"It's important to recognize the source of the pleasure we get from a painting. For me, it is 'joie de vivre' combined with the sensuousness of the forms. So for me the problem is how to create sensuousness through form."
這Botero在諸如OXford Dictionary of Artist等 都只簡單介紹而已

The Big, Fat Art of Fernando Botero
Fernando Botero, dubbed The 'Picasso of South America', returns to the humble house of his childhood in Colombia..

The Colombian painter and sculptor Fernando Botero is one of the world’s most successful living artists. For more than 40 years, he’s produced works - often featuring generously-proportioned figures in brightly-coloured landscapes - that have been coveted by wealthy collectors all over the world.

With homes in Paris, Monte Carlo and Manhattan, his success has given him an enviable lifestyle – an existence far removed from his impoverished childhood in the tough barrios of Medellin.

However, Botero has never forgotten his roots. He grew up in the very same districts as the notorious drug baron Pablo Escobar (who has featured in one of Botero’s most controversial pictures).

Likewise, his latest paintings, which depict the victims of torture at the US-run Abu Ghraib prison - express Botero's horror at the plight of the people of Iraq.

In this film, Steve Smith accompanies Botero as he returns to his troubled homeland, where he has been the target of numerous kidnap attempts and must now be escorted by armed guards.

As Botero arrives, he discovers that a political firestorm has engulfed his son - a charismatic politician who faces years in prison following allegations of corruption.


Showing on BBC World News on Saturday 7th June at 0810 GMT. Repeating Saturday 7th at 1710 and on Sunday 8th at 0110 and 1410 GMT.

Fenando Botero (sic)是哥倫比亞最富盛名的畫家
他畫的男女貓狗馬都圓圓胖胖
波哥大那座美術館和其中的收藏
都是他的捐贈
導覽老師很用心說明
但那些穿制服的學童
像天下所有的小朋友
難免百無聊賴
他們對我們倆更有興趣
兩張罕見的東方臉孔
拿著相機笑嘻嘻照過來
打破美術館午後的沈悶
小朋友都開心極了

Fernando Botero Angulo (born 19 April 1932) is a Colombian figurative artist and sculptor. Born in Medellín, 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. He is considered the most recognized and quoted living artist from Latin America,[2][3][4] and his art can be found in highly visible places around the world, such as Park Avenue in New York City and the Champs-Élysées in Paris.[5]
Self-titled "the most Colombian of Colombian artists" early on, he came to national prominence when he won the first prize at the Salón de Artistas Colombianos in 1958. Working most of the year in Paris, in the last three decades[when?] he has achieved international recognition for his paintings, drawings and sculpture, with exhibitions across the world.[6] His art is collected by many major international museums, corporations, and private collectors. In 2012, he received the International Sculpture Center's Lifetime Achievement in Contemporary Sculpture Award.[7]
