Cy Twombly




Cy Twombly/ Untitled/ 2001

In the same week that Mary Beard trashes Robert Hughes' book 'Rome' (the same author of The Shock of the New and sometime writer on Cy Twombly also), the artist has passed away in his adopted city. As well as his paintings, I was always drawn to his sculptures and photographs, perhaps even more so. Click on Post Title for link to a very recent article on the photographs of Twombly.
