I have to say that I am not a Botero fan and this exhibition did nothing to turn me into one. Be that as it may, my ticket to see Palermo's Norman Palace entitled me to see the Botero works as well. Since I live my life for others and because Botero is an internationally known artist and this is considered to be an important work, I figured I'd better go in & record it for Anyport posterity. Here is the official web page for the show. And here is an exposition on the work.

It's funny that I have absolutely never seen any Botera paintings. But his sculptures have been displayed lots of times in Paris, even on the Champs Elysées.

Don't you think his Jesus looks exactly like Luciano Pavarotti?

Indeed he does.

I like some Botero paintings and visited the Botero museum in Bogota. But this is a bit too much of the same thing, although I rather like the inclusion of contemporarily dressed people in the various scenes. Of course, Renaissance painters did the same thing -- it's just a bit more striking now.
