N2  - "Cy Twombly (b. 1928), one of America's greatest living artists, defies easy categorization. Subverting traditional distinctions between painting and drawing, brush and pencil work, written words and images, he has made a highly individual contribution to the history of twentieth-century art. In his canvases, turfs, swirls, twig bundles, ideograms and ornamental motifs confront one another in implied narrative; biomorphic entities resembling orifices, polyps, fringes or erupting effluvia conjure a protean sexuality; delicate cross-hatchings and tracery interacting with graffiti or detached letters and words evoke multiple associations." "This monograph interprets Twombly's huge and complex body of work through a close study of his oeuvre, following both a thematic and chronological progression from the late 1950s to his most recent work."--BOOK JACKET
