The fact that so many comments show a distaste is a good thing. It shows that his work is still the cutting edge so many years later.
No , it shows that generations of people have all recognized a lack of talent. Many people hated Fascism in the 1930s, and many people hate it today. Does that mean Fascism is cutting edge? Or that it's something awful which people of all generations agree on? That's why we hate Twombly's garbage.
Those of you who don't like (or actively hate) this work act as if its existence negates that of the artists you DO like. Cy Twombly and [insert name of artist you like here] can (and do) exist side-by-side. It isn't necessary to go on at length about how Twombly's work doesn't compare to [artist you do like]. We get it; you don't like his stuff. So what? Nobody cares. Your disdain for his or any other artist's work won't make it disappear or cease to appeal to those who DO like it. This will come as a shock but it's actually possible to like this kind of thing AND appreciate the work of Old Masters. Here's a thought: keep liking what you like and stop feeling that you have to insult those who like things you don't. It just makes you sound like a cranky old man bitching about Kids These Days.
"The meaning of the work is in the doing of it" - Cy Twombly.
Anyone who calls Twombly's works "sh*t", etc. obviously doesn't know what art is. If you don't understand abstract art, or believe that art is always supposed to look realistic, refined, or carefully planned, then, you just don't have the mindset to judge what makes a magnificent work of art.
Thank you! Very intelligent comment!
Brilliant, one of his paintings was the eye opener for me a a child on my first museum visit. Next to the Twombly show in the next room was Marilyn Monroe by Warhol, need I say more, art became my life.....
In a sad twist of events, Twombly's entire portfolio, assembled for a post mortem show, was accidentally burned by a janitor from the local day care center. He assumed they were finger paintings from the special ed program and crammed the entire collection into a roaring rubbish furnace. In an effort to replace the collection, a dog owner's fun run is planned in which dog owners will dip the hind quarters of their dog into a barrel of murky, roof run-off water and drag their dog's ass across a canvas at the finish line. Keep the dream alive.
Dude, I laughed out loud like five times

So Dinky ,...keep shadow boxing,...you'll be heavy weight kimpion before
you know it,...knock yourself out,...keep the dream alive.
Jaden Jahci Hi Jaden, That's fantastic that the artist has such an experience. If what you say is true, then what value does the so-called 'painting' have? Once the art 'experience' is over why not throw the painting away? What makes it so special? Wouldn't it make more sense to video tape the act of rolling around on the canvas and have that be the 'work of art'? Why do I, as a viewer, give a shit about his sloppings unless he is standing there personally to tell me about how he 'felt' when he made it? What makes a painter feel that their 'experience' is of interest at all to anybody else? Talk about self importing! Don't bother answering. You and a million other snobs could explain it over and over and my conclusion will always be that the bullshit 'art' world is a grift. All they need is a perpetrator, a buyer, and an army of nitwits to ooh and aah. Let me just finish up with what should be the nail in the coffin for everybody. Imagine this scenario: "One day The Twombler has a life crisis. Just like all people, he has a crisis of faith and fails. He spends weeks in a stupor. He feels he just doesn't have it anymore. Yet, he's bought a damn fine house and he's behind on the mortgage. He's got an agent and one and a half galleries are made or broke by his output. He realizes that it's all shit but he's stuck. So he breaks out the paints and 15 canvases and slops them with paint one morning. They all go in the back room and over the next year he drives one down to his agent every few weeks before heading back home to watch tv. Hell, he even goes to the opening and stands there to bullshit about them. The buyer, you and all the other nitwits still ooh and aah. He excuses himself to go chuckle uncontrollably in a bathroom stall. How could you ever tell the difference?
Jaden, you are an idiot and the proof is hanging right there on the wall.
After writing your imaginary scenario,
you then went on to call me an idiot, and tell me that the
proof is hanging on my wall. (???)...OK
Well Hey,... i'll be your idiot,..
dink!,... It sounds to me like you got it aaaaaaall figured out Boss.
Imagine that.
Jaden Jahci Hmmm...Let me copy and past directly from my post "the proof is hanging right there on the wall." Not sure what you are getting at but if you are actually trying to say that I thought you owned a twombly please note that my post said "the" wall not "your" wall. This probably got past you but it was a loose reference to the term "the writing is on the wall" meaning "there for all to see" or "irrevocably committed". So...your come-back doesn't make much sense to me. maybe you're being too clever for me. If so, please explain yourself.
I feel you hedging just a bit, you called my scenario imaginary. Do you claim that this scenario is an impossibility?
i love him!!!!!
Cy Twombly is brilliant-
What art?
Absolutely beautiful!!!
Can't you understand the import and necessity in recognizing, acknowledging that singular moment , the dawn of sentience, the shift from mere detection of light through use of the pineal to stereoscopic inversions ultimately organized by mind into height, width, and depth? Color came into awareness for a first time as well. And still does continuously for those who are able to see.
THIS IS NOT ART, sorry Rembrandt the more evolved we get the less brain cells we use
well now he is dead RIP, and the good thing is he wont be able to bomb us with more of his crap.
Twombly's scribbles make reference to languages both ancient and new, both as old as the petroglyphs on a cave wall in France, and as contemporary as the graffiti on a brick wall in Brooklyn.
Yeah right did that take a long time to think up what you said?
@@1953streeky How is that even remotely relevant to anything I wrote?
They are scribbles mate. They do not make reference to anyrhing. Twombly was introduced to the right people who marketed him as someone important to a gullible, pseudo intellectual art world. People gush over his scribbles because they have been brainwashed to think that someone scribbling on a canvas is some how the work of genius. Without this marketing campaign his inane scribbles would be viewed for what they actually are.
I see coments about quantifying why people think this is shit. I would quantify my opinion by stating that he produced talentless shit on canvass in large quantities.
Give me a Vermeer or a Leon Gerome any day, thats art, but not Twombly. His scribbles are an eye sore.
Some people will sing his praises in an attempt to appear sophisticated, knowledgeable, insightful and more intelligent than the plebs. I pity those people. There is nothing profound or uplifting here, it's just shit.
@lewis1544 Lol. Yes, and you've just exposed yourself as the " pleb". You imbecile.
It’s terrible. Just terrible. You just CAN’T consider these meaningless scribbles and random blobs of paint to be “art”.
I like alot of of his stuff.
It’s terrible. Absolutely terrible. You just CAN’T consider these meaningless scribbles and random blobs of paint to be “art”.
why are you here?
Good stuff.
😊.
Cool
when i take a shit i do the same and no one is paying me a coin
Philadelphia Museum of Ar ? Weird!
55sarajevo omg yes, thank you! I mean look at 0:50 ... come on, what has "art" come to. I guess nowadays, people want to make sense out of the crappiest pieces of work and exclude magnificent art pieces because they're apparently too "straightforward". The artist probably didn't even think of anything while drawing it, just random scribbles on a page. And no, I am not trying to phrase only realism has a right to be called art, but you have to at least make it pretty, or even put some effort, like gosh. You have no I idea how hard it is for others who are actually putting effort in to their work to get noticed. I am just finding this incredibly stupid!!!
Wow. Is this a money laundering scam?
1:00
Oh dear what a disaster to intellectualise scribble; next will be books written in gibberish to praise.
please refrain from that sort of language
It’s terrible. Simply terrible. I can produce finer art in a few minutes.
I'm thinking you don't though...
Cy TWOMBLY the greatest artist of trash...no matter how much u Explain his work its simple glorified nonsensical ridiculousness of trash.
He's just the best when it comes to this period
What art?
