Abstract

The outstanding contemporary artist Fernando Botero Angulo (b. 1932) is one of the leading artists of the postmodern era, thanks to the paraphrasing and irony of his works. He is also known as a graphic artist and a sculptor. Botero’s graphic and pictorial works are kept in many museums around the world, including the Russian ones — the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg and the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow; his sculptures adorn the cities of Europe, America, Asia. This article focuses on the artist’s painting: it gives an idea of him as a master who reflected universality and at the same time national identity of his country through landscape, still life, bullfighting, dancing. Several parts of the article are devoted to: «Biography and “circular form”», «Secular and religious images», «Landscape, interior, still life», «Bullfighting, music, dancing». A significant place is given to the «circular form», since it made the artist a unique creator, who used it in many great works of art, and then created images recognizable by everyone who has ever seen Botero’s paintings. There are various genres of the master’s works, in which he acts not only as a creator of a unique form, but also as a brilliant colorist. Botero managed to raise Latin America to a high pedestal; starting from the pan-European tradition, he showed the universal through his native Colombia.
费尔南多·波特罗的绘画:普遍性与民族认同
杰出的当代艺术家费尔南多·波特罗·安古洛(生于1932年)是后现代时代的主要艺术家之一,这要归功于他的作品的释义和讽刺。他也是一位著名的平面艺术家和雕塑家。波特罗的图画和绘画作品被保存在世界各地的许多博物馆中,包括俄罗斯的博物馆——圣彼得堡的冬宫博物馆和莫斯科的普希金国家美术博物馆;他的雕塑装饰着欧洲、美洲和亚洲的城市。这篇文章聚焦于艺术家的绘画:通过风景画、静物画、斗牛画、舞蹈画,展现了他作为一个大师在反映普遍性的同时,也反映了他的国家的民族性。文章的几个部分致力于:“传记和“圆形””,“世俗和宗教图像”,“景观,室内,静物”,“斗牛,音乐,舞蹈”。“圆形”是一个重要的地方,因为它使艺术家成为一个独特的创造者,他在许多伟大的艺术作品中使用了它,然后创造了每个看过波特罗画作的人都能识别的图像。大师的作品体裁多样,在这些作品中,他不仅是一种独特形式的创造者,而且是一位出色的调色师。波特罗成功地将拉丁美洲提升到一个很高的基座上;他从泛欧传统出发,通过他的家乡哥伦比亚展现了宇宙。
