The Unworthy Artist: Cy Twombly

Three blank white canvases were displayed in the famous French art gallery as triptyc. The picture looks like a pencil sign in a hurry, or scribbles that look like a child drawn on a blackboard, and it is sold for over $ 4 million. Some viewers and critics rely on freedom to comment "What is the big deal?" Or "My six-year old child can do this". I do not think Cy Twombly is a "worthy" artist.

In February 1995, The Menil Collection, in partnership with artists Cy Twombly and Dia Art Center, opened an exhibition annex, Cy Twombly Gallery, which was permanently displaying Twombly's artwork. Twombly was born in Lexington, Virginia in 1928 and was studying art at the Boston Art Museum (1947-49), the New York Art Student Association (1950-51), and the University of Montenegro in North Carolina (1951-52). After traveling in Europe and Africa in the mid-1950s, Twombly became a prominent figure in a group of artists working in New York including Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns. In 1959, Twombly permanently settled in Italy. He has organized several single exhibitions internationally and is the subject of major retrospective exhibitions in Europe and the USA.

The Cy Twombly Gallery of the same name opposite the main art museum has a collection of old, modern Baroque works. Cy Twombly (1928-2011) appeared in the art world of New York in the early 1950s, but his painting and sculpture methods relate to mainstream movements in the second half of the 20th century, such as abstract expression, pop art, minimalism I could not do that. . Born in Virginia, Twombly was a young world traveler, an avid reader who was inspired by the history and geography of the ancient Mediterranean, myths of Greece and Rome, classical literature and poetry. All of the words, ideas, and images - he is a vibrant sensual canvas, sometimes on a grand scale, in a multi-panel painting, Twombly creates images, metaphors, languages, and myths that are difficult to understand .

There are several other important spaces in the museum. In February 1995, Menil Collection partnered with artist Cy Twombly and Dia Center in New York and opened Cy Twombly Gallery with two permanent artworks designed by Renzo Piano. Since November 1998, Richmond Hall is one of the only two permanent Dan Flavin facilities in the United States. This device was last asked by Dominique before he died in 1997. Founded by Demeniers, the Roscoe church played a role as an intimate and sectarian sanctuary in 1971. The church, designed by Howard Barnstone, houses 14 Mark Rothko, according to the initial design of Philip Johnson.
