"Banderillas 1987" is a notable painting by the Colombian figurative artist Fernando Botero, renowned for his signature style, often referred to as 'Boterismo', which is characterized by the exaggerated and rounded depiction of figures. Created in 1987, this work is part of Botero's broader exploration of themes related to the culture, people, and history of Latin America, with a particular focus on the spectacle of bullfighting—a subject that has recurred throughout his oeuvre.

The painting depicts a bullfighting scene, a traditional and controversial spectacle deeply rooted in the cultural fabric of Spain and many Latin American countries. In "Banderillas 1987," Botero's use of volume and form accentuates the drama and intensity of the bullfight. The title refers to the banderillas, the colorful barbed sticks that matadors or banderilleros plant into the bull's shoulders during the fight to weaken it before the final act.

Botero's work is often imbued with a sense of irony and critique, and "Banderillas 1987" is no exception. Through his exaggerated forms, Botero may be commenting on the grandiosity and brutality of the bullfighting tradition, inviting viewers to reflect on the nature of this cultural practice. The painting's vibrant colors and dynamic composition are typical of Botero's style, which combines elements of Latin American folk art with a classical technique influenced by the Old Masters.

"Banderillas 1987" contributes to the discourse on the representation of cultural identity and tradition in art, and it continues to be a significant work for understanding Botero's artistic legacy and the broader context of Latin American art. The painting is a testament to Botero's ability to capture the complexity of cultural traditions through his distinctive aesthetic approach, making it a valuable piece for both art historians and the general public interested in the intersections of art, culture, and society.
