Cy Twombly

Explore the intricate world of one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. This comprehensive monograph delves into the prolific career of American artist Cy Twombly (1928–2011), whose expressive power and innovative approach left an indelible mark on contemporary art. Spanning six decades, Twombly's oeuvre is celebrated for its fusion of American Abstract Expressionism with rich European and Mediterranean cultural influences.
