Will anyone help me translate this into Spanish? Please?
I would really appreciate if anyone could translate this into Spanish. Fernando Botero was born in Medellin, Colombia on April 19th, 1932. Botero’s father died of a heart attack when Botero was only two years old. His mother had to raise him and his two brothers by herself. As a youth, Botero attended a school for matadors for several years, but his true interest was in art. He began painting after he became inspired by pre-Columbian and Spanish colonial art (as well as the political work of the Mexican muralist Diego Rivera). At the age of thirteen, he began painting scenes of bullfights, which he sold in front of the arena for five pesos each. “When he was only seventeen, he contributed an article to the Medellin newspaper, El Colombiano, titled ‘Picasso and the Nonconformity of Art,’ which served to reveal his avant-garde thinking of art” (Hudson). In 1951, Botero moved to Bogotá, Colombia. That same year, he held his first one-man exhibition at the Leo Matiz Gallery. Every single one of his pieces sold. The following year, at the age of twenty, he was awarded a second prize at the National Salon in Bogota. With the money he earned from the Salon award and his exhibitions, Botero traveled to Spain, France, and Italy to study the work of the old masters. “In Madrid, he visited El Prado Museum daily while studying at picasso Complete Collection the San Fernando Academy. In Florence, he studied at the Academy of San Marcos and was profoundly influenced by the works of Giotto, Piero della Francesca, Paolo Uccello, and Andrea del Castagno” (Fernando). In 1956, Botero married Gloria Zea and the couple moved to Mexico. He later began teaching at the School of fine Arts at the University of Bogota, Colombia. While teaching, he simultaneously studied the work of Rivera and Orozco. During this time, became known as the most important young artist in Colombia. (Biography). Four years later, in 1960, Botero moved to New York with his wife and won the Guggenheim National Prize for Colombia. That year, he and his wife also got a divorce. The painting style Botero is best known for emerged around 1964. “It was, and is, characterized by ‘inflated, rounded forms, painted with smooth, almost invisible brushstrokes, puffing up to an exaggerated size human figures, natural features, and objects of all kinds, celebrating the life within them while mocking their role in the world.’ The subjects of his paintings often appear to be posed for a photograph, perhaps to capture their image and persona in complete stillness” (Hudson). His artistic style was unprecedented. Claudia Herrera Hudson comments on Botero’s style: “Though the round, exaggerated images are satirical and meant to be humorous, they also serve to offer political and social commentary. Symbols of power and authority are present regularly in his work, with images of presidents and soldiers, as well as clergymen, becoming Botero’s ‘targets.’ He condemns ‘militarists and the morals and manners of Colombia’s bourgeoisie.” Botero’s paintings also typically depict his native Columbia. In 1969, the same year that Neil Armstrong landed on the moon, Botero created an exhibition entitled Inflated Images, which was displayed at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. “That exhibition established his reputation as a major painter worldwide” (Hudson). Eventually, Botero got married a second time to a woman named Cecilia Zambrano. Together they had three children. In 1970 Botero’s third child, Pedro, was killed in an automobile accident (he was only four years old). Botero was also seriously injured, losing a finger and some motion in his right arm. After the tragic accident, Botero began incorporating him into various paintings. Three years after his son’s death, he dedicated a suite of galleries housed in Medellin’s art museum to his son’s memory. In 1973, he moved from New York to Paris and began to sculpt. Two years later he and Cecilia split up. Botero returned to painting in 1978. Today, he lives and works in New York and Paris. (Life).Thank you so much!Please do not put it into translate.google.com.
