Cy Twombly: A Monograph

Cy Twombly: A Monograph
- Used Book in Good Condition
The pictorial creations by American artist Cy Twombly have represented, for more than 50 years, a sort of enigma that reinforces the mythic status of the artist. This book, takes into consideration Twomblyâ€™s immense and complex body of work from the 1950s up through his current works, offers a thematic and chronological interpretation of his paintings, drawings, sculptures, and collages. Richard Leemanâ€™s study elucidates the symbols found in Twomblyâ€™s paintingsâ€•pictograms, numbers, words, colorsâ€•that, at first glance, constitute diverse and unique entities, but then assemble to form a veritable language, where their often primitive forms mix on the canvas with allusive fragments of a vast culture. From scribbles and drawings to words, Twomblyâ€™s work profoundly articulates a language and memory of desire where painting, drawing, and writing meld into a single art form.
This exquisitely produced volume, complete with six gatefolds, is an important addition to the existing bibliography of works on one of Americaâ€™s preeminent contemporary artists.
