Inspired by a traveling troupe he encountered in Mexico, Colombian artist Fernando Botero joined the tradition of great painters like Renoir, Picasso, Chagall, and Calder in exploring circus imagery, delving into the light, movement, and spectacle of the performance. His whimsically inflated forms complement the exaggerated atmosphere, while his own commentary invites the viewer to participate in a circus with Botero as the artful ringmaster. More than 130 paintings and 50 works on paper are gorgeously reproduced as a complete collection in this oversized album.
