The artwork “Orange,” created by Fernando Botero in 1977, is an exquisite piece belonging to the Naïve Art (Primitivism) movement, and it exemplifies the genre of still life. This particular artwork vividly portrays an orange, rendered in Botero’s characteristically voluminous and exaggerated style. The expansive, rounded form of the fruit dominates the canvas, set against a minimalist backdrop that accentuates its presence. With the simplicity and boldness typical of the Naïve Art movement, Botero’s work invites the viewer to contemplate the everyday subject with a sense of wonder and appreciation for its form and color.
