Cy Dear, 2018
Andrea Bettinetti
CY DEAR is a tribute to the extensive work of Cy Twombly, an American artist from Lexington, Virginia, who became a prominent figure in the mid-1950s as a contemporary of Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns. Twombly is perhaps best known for his gestural vocabulary in paintings and drawings in which every line and color is charged with energy, spirituality and meaning. He turned away from the previous generation of post-war American abstraction and drew on ancient, classical and modern poetic traditions. The inspiration and innovation also extended to his work in sculpture, photography and printmaking.
