Cy Twombly benefitted from the fact that he lived on both shores of the Atlantic and, in particular, on the Mediterranean. That made him not only an American or European artist but bestowed upon him one of the rarest gift: the possibility to continuously renew his art in a creative way up until the end of his life. Moreover, he acquired through his wanderings between countries and cultures and constant reading a rare wealth of experience that he synthesized in his work. I always had the impression that he was a classic mind nourished by a globalized intellect.” (Nicola del Roscia, Some notes on Cy Twombly, in: Nicola del Roscia, Cy Twombly, Drawings, Catalogue raisonné Vol. 4, 1964-1969, Munich 2014, p.10) Cy Twombly Agori Oil, gouache and pencil on Fabriano cardboard. 70 x 50 cm.
