Biography of Cy Twombly
Cy twombly was born in Lexington (United States) in 1928. He is a student at the School of Fine Arts in Boston, at the Art Students' League in New York (where he meets with Robert Rauschenberg), and at the Black Mountain College (North Carolina) where his teachers are Robert Motherwell and Frank Kline. In 1952, he travels for the first time in Europe, discovers Italy and settles definitely in Rome in 1957. The artist will be part of several collective exhibits dedicated to American contemporary art (Osaka, Amsterdam, Venice, New York, etc...); in the meantime, after a first personal exhibition in 1951 (Kootz Gallery, New York), he shows his work in the most famous museums worldwide, getting a first retrospective at the Withney Museum of American Art in New York in 1979. He is a friend of Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns. Cy Twombly's work is in the fringe of American prevailing art trends and is organized into large alternating cycles. Often his themes are chosen into Antiquity reminding us of characters, poets or memorable events. Cy Twombly shares his time between painting and houses restoring. Twombly lives in Rome, Gaète and Lexington.
