Famous Gorditas | Sculptures in Plaza Botero

in Visual Shots3 months ago

Greetings friends of Hive and Visualshots, I hope you are well. I also hope you like some pictures that I have taken exclusively for this community, that was several months ago and before my iPhone was damaged. You already know that I like to show parts of Medellin and is that it is a privileged city in many aspects such as, for example, is the birthplace of the famous artist Fernando Botero creator of the works of art that are exhibited in the famous Plaza Botero. There are 23 bronze sculptures that can be found in the square and all the figures are chubby because the artist was famous for his works that represented the plump appearance of people and animals, especially in naked bodies that can have postures that attract much attention.

You can see a post I made some time ago in another community about the plaza: A work of art in the open air | Plaza Botero in Medellín

In this post I will show you 11 sculptures and in another one I will show you the rest.

Saludos amigos de Hive y de Visualshots, espero que estén bien. También espero que les guste unas fotografías que he tomado exclusivamente para esta comunidad, eso fue hace varios meses y antes de que mi iPhone se dañara. Ya saben que me gusta mostrar partes de Medellín y es que es una ciudad privilegiada en muchos aspectos como por ejemplo, es la cuna donde nació el famoso artista Fernando Botero creador de las obras de arte que se exhiben en la reconocida Plaza Botero. Son 23 las esculturas de bronce que podemos encontrar en la plaza y todas las figuras son gorditas porque el artista era famoso por sus obras que representaban el aspecto rellenito de las personas y animales, especialmete en cuerpos desnudos que pueden tener posturas que llaman mucho la atención.

Pueden ver una publicación que hice hace tiempo en otra comunidad sobre la plaza: Una obra de arte al aire libre | Plaza Botero de Medellín

En esta publicación les mostraré 11 esculturas y en otra les muestraré el resto.

But why are so many people looking at that sculpture?

Pero ¿por qué hay tanta gente viendo esa escultura?

Well, there is a bit of a weird mystery with this sculpture. People say that if you want to get lucky you can touch the noble part of the soldier 😂 There are women who laugh a lot with this belief and have fun playing along.

Bueno, hay un misterio un poco raro con esta escultura. La gente dice que si quieres tener suerte puedes tocarle la parte noble al soldado 😂 Hay mujeres que se rien mucho con esta creencia y se divierten siguiendole la corriente.

I show you two more sculptures to finish this exhibition so that you can see that there are not only naked people in Botero's works, there are also some with modesty and that is why they have clothes.

Les muestro dos esculturas más para finalizar esta exhibición para que vean que no solamente hay personas desnudas en las obras de Botero, también hay algunas con pudor y por eso tienen ropas.

Until a future meeting to show you the other bronze sculptures of Plaza Botero. The truth is that I hope not to take too long to publish again because I have many photos of Medellín that I want to show you. See you soon and if you leave me comments I will be glad to answer them. Bye bye.

Hasta un próximo encuentro para mostrarles las otras esculturas de bronce de la Plaza Botero. La verdad es que espero no tardarme en volver a publicar porque tengo muchas fotos de Medellín que quiero mostrarles. Nos vemos pronto y si me dejan comentarios los responderé con mucho gusto. Chao, chao.

Botero was a very peculiar artist and undoubtedly left a great sample of his art, as we can see in these sculptures. Greetings !
