art history cy twombly

My arrtistic influence was Cy Twombly. I based my project off one of his pieces called The Gagosian.  Twombly was an American painter who was born on  April 25, 1928, in Lexington Virginia. He was well known for his abstract and messy looking paintings. The cool part about his art; is that he always had a meaning behind even the messiest paintings and he was the only person who truly knows what that meaning was and how important it is to him. He was married to and he died in 2011. he was married to Baroness Tatiana Franchetti from 1959-2010 when Twombly died a year later. Twombly lived in Lexington until he died. He got his education from the Massachusettes School of Fine Arts in Boston. Twombly died in 2011 in Rome from cancer.
