Collection: CY TWOMBLY

Edwin Parker Twombly Jr., better known by a popular pseudonym of Cy Twombly, was an American artist and a significant representative of the Post-Abstract Expressionist generation. His brilliant large-scale paintings of gestural marks were scratched and smeared on raw canvas or linen, imbuing his pieces with a unique level of frenetic spirit and vitality that remains unmatched to this day. Besides combining numerous styles with his own concepts, Cy Twombly found massive influence in the sense of history and autonomy present in his beloved South, blending it with his interest in Greco-Roman mythology and heritage. The most efficient description of Cy’s portfolio was provided by no other than the artist himself: My line is childlike but not childish.
