Classify Colombian sculptor Fernando Botero

[Tooting Carmen]

Probably the most famous person from Medellin before Pablo Escobar came along. His sculptures of overweight people are hilarious. If anyone goes to Medellin, then visiting the Museum of Antioquia is an absolute must, given that his works are located there.

He doesn't look like the kind of guy who would sculpt for humor. Anyhow I will sit this classification out I could learn something new here.

He makes satirical sculptures of the rich, powerful and pompous by making them look as fat as possible. I promise you it is better than it sounds.
