Fernando Botero is a Latin American painter, sculptor, and draftsman who depicts the comedy of human life—moving or ironic, baroque in expression, sometimes with a mocking observation, and sometimes with a deep, elementary emotion. Included will be 100 paintings, sculptures, and drawings culled from the artist’s private collection. Many works have never been exhibited in public.
Description
The only comprehensive art collection, from antiquity to the present day, on Florida's west coast. The collection of 4,000 objects includes significant works by Cezanne, Monet, Gauguin, Renoir, Rodin, Henri, Bellows and O'Keeffe. Special exhibits feature works on loan from other metropolitan museums. Period rooms feature antiques and historical furnishing. The museum has a collection of photos by American master photographers and a Steuben glass gallery. Guided tours available.
