Cy Twombly @ Centre for Fine Arts
31 Jan 2012 - 28 Apr 2012
Cy Twombly's photographs have been a rather recent discovery. Snapping photographs with his Polaroid camera since his student days, the artist did not make available to the public his photographic material until the 90s.
The subject matter of his photographs varies considerably. From still-life images of flowers and brushes, snap shots of his studio and museums interiors, details from his paintings to views of ancient temples and atmospheric landscapes, the ethereal and delicate photographs reveal the themes that have nourished the artist's paintings, drawings, sculptures and graphic art.
The exhibition will include a number of paintings by Cy Twombly and the intimate cinematic portrait "Edwin Parker" by artist Tacita Dean as a tribute to the recently deceased greatest artist of our times.
