Reclining Woman by Fernando Botero

"Reclining Woman" is in the tradition of monumental sculpture and was thus created for outdoor display. "Art is always an exaggeration of reality, its colour, its form, its spiritual meaning", says Fernando Botero when asked about the overflowing forms of his figures, which characterise both his painting and his sculptures. In his works, Botero gives visual form to the sensuality, beauty and fertility of women.
