Cy Twombly : Making Past Present Hardback

Hardback

Less than 10 available - usually despatched within 24 hours

Description

Cy Twombly's first visit to Italy as a young man ignited a lifelong passion for classical culture that is everywhere present in his art.

Painted canvases, works on paper, and small-scale sculptures reveal the historical soul of Twombly's abstract compositions.

Taking on myths and heroes as personal guides, he created a psychologically complex dialogue with the visual and literary art of antiquity.

This sumptuously illustrated publication reproduces a carefully chosen selection of the artist's paintings, drawings, and sculptures alongside works of classical antiquity, including a number from his personal collection.

Illuminating essays by leading scholars explore the often enigmatic engagement of Twombly's art with the world of the past.
