Artist Cy Twombly died at the age of 83 on Monday in Rome. I had the good fortune of seeing the exhibit
The Natural World: Selected Works, 2000-2007 at the Art Institute of Chicago in 2009. I especially loved the rich tones in his
Untitled, 2001 series, and was stunned by the scale and beauty of a series of untitled paintings he completed in 2004, my favorite being
Untitled n°5, 2004. But I don't think I can understand the true color and magnitude of his
Bacchus or
Lepanto paintings until I experience them in person. Here's hoping for a trip to Munich to see them
at the
Brandhorst Collection.
