There's a room in Tate Modern with Twombly's Bacchus series and you can see all of it while standing right in front of Monet's Water Lillies. It was the most memorable and emotional experience with visual arts I've had so far.
Twombly approached the canvas as a stage on which various conflicts, battles, sexual conquests, ruminations, and reconciliations appear. He was like a matador who knew exactly when to execute the perfect stroke that would tear into the flesh and take down the beast within himself.
When you have to resort to word salad to explain rubbish you are reiterating that it is rubbish. Twombly's scribbles are a joke that rely on pseudo intellectual wannabees towing the party line in mindlessly gushing over scribbles. It is utter tosh and a scam. There is nothing creative in his work. If you told me a monkey did it I would believe you.
It certainly seems that once an artist has "made a name for himself/herself" then the curators, museum boards, art dealers, gallery owners all promote the work that follows because they have a stake in maintaining the artist's works as blue chip commodities. They are invested monetarily in the propagation of each artist's reputation.
Turner was never an abstract painter in the 20th/21st century sense,he never wanted to abandon figurative art,he was a platonist,a visionary,but it suits certain agendas within the artworld to depict Turner in this way,politically and polemically,in a dumbed down way, in order to support and promote a lot of badly made abstraction which bears no resemblance to the visible world,and cause people who have never practiced or studied painting to pretentiously state ' oh he moved into abstraction you know'.Late Twombly is moving though.
The first real impressionists had to be some of the first primitive artists. Imagine the first whatever to pick up a blob of mud on its fingers and start following the urge. None of the trappings of what we know today and the resulting self consciousness. Only working with what was seen and a gut instinct.

Putting these three together is such a good idea...especially monet and twombly
I was fortunate enough to see this exhibition. A real "painterly " show. Beyond verisimilitude to expression of an almost spiritual depth.
Que Maravilha ! Eu amaria ver esta exposição. 👏
Thank you for these Revelations!
Lo mejor de lo mejor👍👍
Love.Them.All.

I wonder what Turner and Monet would think if they knew Twombly was included with them in the same exhibit.
they'd probably buy him a beer
Twombly doesn't deserve wall-space anywhere, but especially not next to Turner and Monet.
S.D. : One would take his own paintings out of the show. The other would take twombly's paintings out of the show.
🤣😂🤣
Vas justito de pintura 😂😂😂😂@@KR-nv3ru
Great concept for an exhibition, just wish I were in England.

Not the first combination of artists I would have thought of. But an interesting juxtaposition.
beautiful
super art
wonderful

I actually like Twombly best of the three.
Ohhh to be in England..................
Yeah right 😐
Look. Don't talk. They do it or they don't. No amount of explanation will make anything happen that was never going to happen.
If I give a splotch on my kitchen floor enough time, it'll start a speaking to me, too! Haha! Monet = Epic!
