TOLEDO – "The Baroque World of Fernando Botero" opens Saturday at the Toledo Museum of Art.
The exhibit features 100 paintings, sculptures and drawings by the Columbian artist. Botero, born 1932,
works in a broad range of media as he depicts the comedy of human life, whether moving or wry.
Inspired by artists of the Baroque movement of the 17th century, Botero creates immediately recognizable
figures that are at once accessible yet enigmatic, a blend of violence and beauty.
Admission to the exhibit is free for museum members and children under 6. Admission for nonmembers is
$15, $12 for seniors over 65r, and $5 for students ages 6 to 22. Through June 12.TOLEDO – "The
