In 'Duino', Cy Twombly has created a surface reminiscent of his renowned large 'blackboard' paintings of the same era: a dark, graphite-colored ground in oil-based housepaint is washed with gestural swathes of chalky pigment, as if bearing the traces of inscriptions written and removed.⠀ ⠀ The present work forms a concise tribute to the Duino Elegies, a cycle of intense, mystical poems concerned with beauty, suffering and salvation by Rainer Maria Rilke.

Not sure how to look at a Cy Twombly painting? Here are 3 clues: 1️⃣ Illegible by design — Twombly’s marks aren’t meant to be read like text. Instead, they evoke mood, memory, and the passage of time. After moving to Italy in the 1950s, he drew inspiration from the weathered walls of ancient buildings and the layered scratches, drips, and scrapes of graffiti. 2️⃣ Poetry & myth — A voracious reader, Twombly filled his works with references to poetry and classical myths.

Cy Twombly, Untitled (New York City) (1968)

Cy Twombly’s “Lepanto” cycle is a series of 12 paintings that trace a single day in 1571, one of the most brutal naval battles in history. The sequence begins quietly, in the early hours before the Battle of Lepanto begins, then builds toward chaos.

At a time when abstraction was dominating the international scene, Cy Twombly embraced figuration and instead drew inspiration from the poetic and mythical art of Antiquities. To echo the world in which Twombly used to live, @sothebys has invited @galerie.chenel and celebrated photographer @francoishalard to pay homage to the art and personality of Cy Twombly in the #SothebysParis Place Beauvau gallery. Halard invited us over for a studio visit—watch the full video at the link in @sothebys bio.
