he just splashed the canvas and art was being created


Was it so? The Virgina-born large-scale painter Cy Twombly, whose name seems as abstract as his works, exploited technique of gestural drawing. Fascinated by finest classicism and mythology, he translated tradition to modern language that seems by no means more legible than the ancient stories of gods and symbolic creatures. In all its lyricism, the art of Twombly is contemporary to the core. That means it’s double vague and stimulating.

Look at it, the canvas swamped by strokes of paint in colours reminiscent of impressionists’ palette, ravaging idealistic forms with their fortuity. Think of it, the artworks that is supposed to express something, it has a title and a concept behind, I may not understand it. Feel it, depending on level of sensitivity and aesthetical preference, shiver in amazement, tremble with indignation.
