CY TWOMBLY

Cy Twombly was an american artist whose romantic symbolism cuts through the abstract canvases he created.

Very much a creature of his time, the influence of his cohort of American abstract expressionsts is clear, but something timeless shines through all of that.

This image from his studio south of Rome reveals his engagement with a sort of shared cultural memory, that for us really shines through his canvases.

Thanks Cy.

Cy was short for Cyclone, in case you were wondering.
