Free exhibition of Drawings from the personal collection of Fernando Botero

The National Museum of Fine Arts in Buenos Aires has a new exhibition…“Botero, drawings on canvas and paper”, a display of 50 drawings by the famous Colombian artist Fernando Botero (born in Medellín, 1932). These works are all part of the artist´s personal collection, which is displayed infrequently, and then only in museums.

Botero uses watercolor, pencil, pastel, ink and charcoal on paper and canvas. He is especially skilled at working with sanguine, which is a soft, dark red pencil. This is a difficult skill rarely used by artists.
