Tribute to Fernando Botero
Botero was born in Medellín, Colombia, in 1932. Upon losing his father at age 4, his uncle took his family under his wing.

His earliest artistic influences were Mexican muralism and cubism, of which he appreciated the sweeping dramatic aspects. One of his earliest jobs was producing illustrations for a local newspaper, which allowed him to pay his tuition. >>
