Cy Twombly (1928–2011) was an American artist, internationally acclaimed for his iconic gestural paintings that became synonymous with postwar abstraction. Blending elements of Abstract Expressionism and poetic inscription, Twombly’s work explored themes of memory, language, and the passage of time. His bold compositions are characterised by their expressive scribbles, dynamic marks, and lyrical text fragments, evoking deeply personal emotional resonance. Twombly’s work has been exhibited in major museums and galleries worldwide, including the Museum of Modern Art, Tate, and Centre Pompidou. Twombly brought a profoundly poetic edge to contemporary abstraction, leaving a mark on the history of modern art.
