I am so sad to learn today that Cy Twombly died last week. I love his paintings so much.
A few years ago when I was a visiting artist at Southern Methodist University, my friend Rebecca drove the two of us down to Houston to check out the Cy Twombly Gallery at the Menil; a whole museum full of his paintings. It was amazing.
And it was a real thrill when the Art Institute of Chicago's Modern Wing opened with a room full of Twomblys work. I spent many lunch hours in that gallery, sitting with his huge paintings. Rest In Peace, Cy Twombly. Thank you so much for painting.
Thanks for sharing your thought about Twombly and some of his art. RIP, Cy!
