Fernando Botero is the famous Colombia artist (painting, drawing, and sculpture) known for depicting everything and everybody as fat. Really fat. Wisconsin-at-Summerfest fat. Even his Christ on the Cross is pudgy.
This is "Perro," the Dog, in Plaza Botero in Centro Medellin, Colombia, has a huge collection of his sculpture. It is just outside the Museo de Antioquia, which houses, again, a large collection of his paintings and drawings. "Perro" is looking quite rotund, like his owner has never taken him for a walk. (Well, of course his owner has never taken him for a walk. He's made of bronze and is completely immobile. Of course I've seen live dogs who were this rotund and do not have the excuse of being made of bronze.)
Visited October 2012.
