Colombian sculptor and painter Fernando Botero was known for the inflated, rounded forms he created in his works. Overstuffed generals. Voluptuous prostitutes. Bulging baskets of fruit. Spherical knee caps. No matter the subject or detail, he brought curves to his style, also known as Boterismo. Interestingly, one of his earliest influences was... Cubism.
