Cy Twombly died on July 5th, and my friend Margaret suggested I post some of his work. It took me a while to figure out how to articulate just why I like him so much, but here it is: Twombly’s style is so completely his, and so easily identifiable-rarely did he stray from delicate doodles and splotches that are his hallmarks-yet within the confines of that vocabulary, he expresses such a range of feeling and experience. Sure, the playfully sexual paintings full of floating genitalia are the most fun, but those same childlike lines frantically depict violence in his (incredibly disturbing) Leda and the Swan series. Anyway, here are a few of my favorite paintings. You should really go see them in person, they are far more arresting in front of you than on your computer screen.
