Cy Twombly was a seminal American artist who came of age immediately following the Abstract Expressionist generation. His iconic large-scale paintings consisted of looping marks scribbled and smeared on raw canvas or linen. Twombly’s practice melded his interest in Roman and Greek mythological stories, including Leda and the Swan, with the frenetic doodling of chalk on a blackboard. “My line is childlike but not childish. It is very difficult to fake,” he once explained. “To get that quality you need to project yourself into the child’s line. It has to be felt.” Born Edwin Parker Twombly Jr. on April 25, 1928 in Lexington, VA, he went on to attend the Art Students League of New York where he met Robert Rauschenberg. It was Rauschenberg who recommended that he enroll at the Black Mountain College. While at the college, Twombly studied under Franz Kline and Robert Motherwell, who introduced him to the work of Paul Klee. From 1960 onward, the artist spent the majority of his time between Rome and the medieval port city of Gaeta, where he steeped himself in thoughts of the Mediterranean Sea and ancient naval battles that had taken place there. He died on July 5, 2011 in Rome, Italy. In 2016, the Centre Georges Pompidou held a major exhibition on the Twombly, which included an assortment of 140 works ranging from sculptures and drawings to paintings and photographs. Today, the artist’s works can be found in the collections of The Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Courtauld Institute in London, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art, which in 1989 devoted an entire room to his 10-painting suite, Fifty Days at Iliam, based on Alexander Pope’s translation of the Iliad.
賽·托姆布雷 Cy Twombly是一位開創性的美國藝術家，他在成為抽象表現主義者之後立即成名。他標誌性的大型繪畫作品包括在原始畫布或亞麻布上塗寫和塗抹的循環標記。 Twombly的練習融合了他對羅馬和希臘神話故事的興趣，包括勒達和天鵝，用粉筆在黑板上狂熱地塗鴉。 “我的路線是幼稚而不幼稚的。這很難偽造，“他曾解釋說。 “為了獲得這種品質，你需要把自己投射到孩子的線上。必須感覺到這一點。“1928年4月25日出生在弗吉尼亞州列剋星敦的埃德溫帕克特姆布利小出生，他繼續參加紐約藝術學生聯盟，在那裡他遇到了羅伯特勞森伯格。這是Rauschenberg誰建議他在黑山學院報名。在大學期間，Twombly在弗蘭茲克萊恩和羅伯特馬瑟韋爾的帶領下學習，後者將他介紹給保羅克利的工作。從1960年開始，藝術家大部分時間都在羅馬和中世紀港口城市加埃塔之間度過，他沉浸在地中海思想和那裡發生的古代海戰中。他於2011年7月5日在意大利羅馬去世。 2016年，蓬皮杜藝術中心在Twombly舉辦了一場重要的展覽，其中包括140件作品，從雕塑和繪畫到繪畫和照片。今天，這位藝術家的作品可以在紐約現代藝術博物館，洛杉磯縣藝術博物館，倫敦Courtauld研究所和費城藝術博物館的收藏中找到，該藝術館於1989年投入整個房間他的10幅繪畫套件是基於亞歷山大·波普翻譯伊利亞特的“伊利亞姆五十天”。
