Catalogue Note
“His work is witty, satirical, and with infectious ingenuous humor. His is a gentle attitude of sophisticated innocence which takes the sheerest delight in the things his world hands him.His subjects are people, both singly and in happy family groups;”
Tracy Atkinson, Galerie Buchholz, Botero, Munich, 1970, p.11
