Bullfight: Paintings and Works on Paper

Bullfight features more than 140 oil paintings and thirty-five drawings by Fernando Botero, providing a gorgeous look at the artist's iconic subject, the tauromaquia, or bullfight. In his youth, 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.
