CY TWOMBLY (1928–2011)

Twombly’s scribbled, poetic canvases evoke ancient history, myth, and emotion. With delicate lines, graffiti-like marks, and soft washes of color, he created work that feels both intimate and monumental. His signature style blends abstraction with language and memory. His work is in Tate, Menil Collection, and MoMA.

"Each line is now the actual experience with its own innate history."
