	Bienal - Special guests - Cy Twombly
		Twombly imposes his materials on us not as something which is going to serve some purpose, but as absolute matter, manifested in its glory (theological vocabulary tells us that the glory of God is the manifestation of his Being).
		Twombly thinks the opposite: it is in holding ckeck the pressure of matter, it letting is alight almost nonchalantly on the paper so that its grain is a little dispersed, that matter will show its essence and make us certain of its correct name: this is pencil.
		Twombly's art- and in this consist its ethic and its great historical singularity-does not grasp at anything; it is situated, it floats and drifts between the desire which, in subtle fashion, guides the hand, and politeness, which is the discreet refusal of any captivating ambition.

	Cy Twombly Art Minimal & Conceptual Only
		Born in Lexington, Virginia, in 1928, Twombly belongs to the generation of American artists that followed Abstract Expressionism and had to contend, Oedipus-like, with its influence; he is the Third Man, a shadowy figure, beside that vivid duumvirate of his friends Jasper Johns and Robert Rauschenberg.
		Twombly will insert "dirty" bits in a painting - a little graffiti-style penis, odd smears of paint with the look of dried sperm - in the hope they will enhance some sense of a Baroque cityscape - but much of the time, they don't.
		In sum, Twombly is a textbook case of High and Low in one parcel: an Alexandrian painter in love with entropy and yet capable of toughness.

	Art Gallery of New South Wales: Cy Twombly
		The qualities and sensibilities which echo from Twombly's Three Studies for the Temeraire are manifold: the imagery suggests the passage of time, the inevitable end to any voyage, the passage from the present to the past and vice versa.
		It is likely that Twombly's modern interpretation would confuse a latter-day Turner, however he would have recognised certain qualities - the fascination with the aura of the heroic, the melancholy and beauty of passage, the magic of profound light, the evocation of depth, profundity and mystery.
		Cy Twombly was born in 1928 in Lexington, Virginia.

	Malere:Cy Twombly (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Twombly and his colleagues utilized an iconography of everyday life (such as representations of numbers and letters) and incorporated found objects into their work, embracing banal methods such as stenciling.
		The suggestion of carelessness and defilement inherent in Twombly’s paintings (they elicit comparisons with the sexual graffiti in a public latrine) is also present in the work of Rauschenberg, with whom Twombly traveled to Italy in 1953.
		Twombly’s work is filled with references to his adopted home as well as to a broader neo-classical tradition; he often alludes to mythological subjects, Old Master painters, and local places or events through his titles and scrawled words or phrases on the surfaces of the works.

	The New Yorker : critics : art
		Cy Twombly was twenty-five years old in 1953, when, at the borrowed studio of Robert Rauschenberg, on Fulton Street, he made some of the inauspicious-looking monoprints and pencil drawings that open “Cy Twombly: Fifty Years of Works on Paper,” an absorbing, uneven show at the Whitney.
		Twombly’s works of the fifties remain his most exciting, for me. Those in the show, beginning in 1954, are flurries of impulsive line in pencil, crayon, or paint—sometimes mostly erased or overlapped with white house paint—which seem barbarically formless, yet are perversely graced with sensitive touch and texture.
		Amazingly, Twombly’s candid flailing has proved to wear far better than the aggressive certainties of most fame-seeking artists, which, when they do not attain the deathless clarity of masterpieces (that is, nearly all the time), tend to become embarrassingly dated with the next turnover of artistic fashion.

	Cy Twombly
		Twombly first came to prominence in the later 1950s, when his graffiti like pencilwork appeared to subvert Abstract Expressionism.
		In the extensive literature on Twombly, many sensitive writers and acute theoreticians have already grappled with that difficulty, in efforts to capture poetically the seductive force of his work, and to analyze its singular aesthetic structure...

	Cy Twombly Biography
		Cy Twombly was born in Lexington, Virginia on 25 April 1928.
		In his early works from the beginning of the 1950s Twombly was heavily influenced by Kline, but also by Paul Klee and he dealt with the possibilities of a gestural-expressionistic brush stroke and developed a sensitive web of signs, words, numbers and representational fragments.
		During the 1960s Twombly's Schultafel-Bilder' came into existence, in which the act of writing was turned into a physical gesture.

	Exhibitions/Programs - Current Exhibitions
		Marking the 10th anniversary of the Cy Twombly Gallery at The Menil Collection, which opened in 1995, this exhibition will present more than 75 works on paper by one of the most important American artists living today.
		Twombly’s breadth of imagination and interdisciplinary tendencies traverse vast distances of time and place, resulting in an art at once Dionysian and Apollian, lavish and spare, modern and ancient.
		Twombly has used a variety of materials and methods — paint, crayon, collage — and drawn inspiration from diverse sources ranging from famous battles of classic history to Russian Constructivism.

	ZWIRNER & WIRTH \| Cy Twombly
		While all of the drawings begin with Twombly’s signature pencil line, many of the works are layered with heavily encrusted house paint and crayon.
		Although Twombly has enjoyed critical acclaim in recent years, at the time these drawings were made, both his practice and his formal and thematic preoccupations stood in stark contrast to the dominating pop iconography and the certainties of Minimalist form.
		Twombly’s aggressive lines, where symbols emerge and then are violently scratched out discloses his early fascination with immediacy of “primitive” art forms.

	CY TWOMBLY: DIE SKULPTUR ("CY TWOMBLY: THE SCULPTURE") - COLLECTIBLE BOOK FOR SALE
		Twombly's lifelong artistic concern has been the transmutation into his art of the ancient past, that is to say, the world before the rise of Judaeo-Christian Western civilization.
		Twombly is an iconic figure, a one-of-a-kind artist who is both deeply engaged in and necessarily detached from serious art-making: "He wants to produce an effect but at the same time, he couldn't care less" (Roland Barthes).
		Signed Cy Twomblys are extremely scarce because he has lived in Rome since 1957, coming to the United States for occasional, brief visits only.

	Cy Twombly
		Cy Twombly emerged as a prominent American artist during the Abstract Expressionist era of the 1950s.
		Twombly developed a technique of gestural drawing that was characterized by thin white lines on a dark canvas that appear to be scratched on to the surface.
		Twombly credits Dada and Surrealist artists such as Kurt Schwitters, Hans Arp and Alberto Giacometti as having the greatest influence on him, especially with regards to the intuitive manner with which he works.

		Twombly’s move to Italy coincided with a shift away from Abstract Expressionism to a mature style inspired by poetry, mythology, the classics and European history and literature.
		Twombly’s sculptures are particularly inspired by a sense of place, and the chariot-like Untitled (Rome) 1979 is imbued with visual references to classical antiquity.
		Twombly’s antecedents in the first generation of Abstract Expressionists are represented by a display entitled Nature into Action and by Mark Rothko’s Seagram murals.

		Cy (the younger) Twombly immersed himself in the arts at Black Mountain College where he not only met the likes of Robert Rauschenberg and John Cage but where he might have encoutnered Olsen, Williams, and a host of important poets.
		I had occasion this weekend to visit the Cy Twombly Gallery, which is part of the Menil Collection here in Houston, both housed in extraordinary buildings designed by Renzo Piano.
		Twombly incorporates fragments from Rilke into his striking Analysis of the Rose as Sentimental Despair (the intelligence of the title alone is admirable).

	MAM - Collection - Contemporary Art - Cy Twombly
		A second-generation Abstract Expressionist, Cy Twombly creates paintings that combine elements of gestural abstraction, drawing, and writing in a very personal style.
		Twombly was one of the first American artists to become interested in graffiti, in which he saw characteristics of both Surrealist automaticism and Abstract Expressionist improvisation.
		In 1968 MAM presented Twombly’s first solo exhibition in an American museum; this painting was purchased out of that show.

		Cy Twombly's career retrospective may contain the largest painting I have ever seen.
		Twombly's means and ends make a retrospective of his drawings natural and even perhaps essential.
		Twombly obviously does not have the same message, and he is still at home with pretty colors and the names of Greek gods.

		Lepanto, Cy Twombly's ravishing suite of 12 large canvases in acrylic, crayon, and graphite, may be the artist's most satisfactory work.
		Twombly's glorious, luminously intense sequence of panels is meant to be absorbed as a single image, a panoramic portrayal of war on a heroic scale, with the viewer standing in the midst of a battle that ends in the destruction of the Turkish fleet.
		Born in 1928 in Lexington, Virginia, Twombly studied art at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the Art Students League, New York, and Black Mountain College in North Carolina.

		CY TWOMBLY: The Sculpture presents a comprehensive selection of 65 of the artist’s three-dimensional works, including many sculptures never before publicly shown.
		This exhibition will feature a group of Twombly’s earliest sculptures, from the 1940s and 50s, assemblages made of modest everyday objects and covered with white paint (a material the artist calls my marble, referring to the medium of classical sculpture).
		Twombly's sculptures continue to bear these traces of human emotion (and) human life through time, notes Schmidt, as precious and fleeting as the sculptures themselves.

		Cy Twombly is one of the hardest of all contemporary artists to pigeonhole.
		For all his affinities with Abstraction, Pop and Minimalism, it was precisely Twombly's detachment from any one style or movement that enabled him to look with sympathy at classical and Renaissance art.
		Along one wall of the Serpentine Gallery's exhibition Cy Twombly: Fifty Years of Works on Paper are four works on fl paper made with light-grey house paint and white wax crayon.
