The Voluptuous Art of Augustin Kassi

Augustin Kassi is an artist from the Ivory Coast and his paintings feature voluptuous women.  The paintings are very beautiful to look act!  His work reminds me of the genius of Botero, who also enjoyed painting large-sized women.  In Kassi's case though, he is celebrating the beauty of African women and their big-boned large sizes are often an antithesis of what beautiful women look like - in the West - and in Asia.
