NAKED LADIES IN BOGOTA


A week ago I hadn't even heard of Fernando Botero, one of Colombia's most well-known artists. A week and a visit to Museo Botero later, I think he could well be my favourite painter. Along with some fantastic and often comical artwork by Botero himself, the museum had a collection on display that included Dali, Picasso, Klimt, Monet and many, many more. Bogota's Museo Botero is definitely up there with the Guggenheims, Louvres and Tate Moderns of this world. And the best thing was getting in was completely free.
