Publisher: Schirmer/Mosel
Condition: New
The American painter, sculptor and photographer, Cy Twombly emerged in the 1950s, with his striking painting style of imaginative drips, vigorous scribbles, and scratched lines. One of the key figures in 20th century art, the artist fused together painting and drawing techniques where he used repetition and graffiti styles. He described his work as “childlike” but not “childish” as each piece carried heavy skill and a deeper meaning.
This book showcases stunning visuals over five decades of Twombly’s multiple studios and homes in New York, Rome, Bassano in Teverina, Gaeta, and Lexington. The pages display visuals of the artist’s stylish interiors photographed by Horst P. Horst, Bruce Weber, François Halard, David Seidner, Deborah Turbeville, Tacita Dean, and Ugo Mulas. Each photographer was intrigued by Twombly’s charisma, his art, and the creative atmosphere of his intriguing lifestyle. In addition, the artist himself was an outstanding photographer who continuously captured his environment with his own camera. Two introductory texts accompany the pictures, the first by Nicola Del Roscio, the artist's collaborator for many years, and the following by German art writer Florian Illies.
