Cy Twombly - Mark Making

For Becoming Capable of the World Class - This is intended primarily for students in the September 2020 course on Imagination, but I've made it available to all. It might be useful to some people.

The first five minutes I was thinking "oh boy, here comes a cy critic".I was dead wrong. Listened to the entire thing and loved every minute of it. Learned some new things today. Keep them coming!

[@Hjkmovingpics7007]

I really enjoyed it as a fan of Cy but really didn’t how to look at his work in words. Interpreting his work as mark making was something more to think about as an art school student. Really thank you.

I listened to every moment of this talk and learned many things about CT, his art, how to look at his art, and how to think and analyze in general. Thank you.

Twombys work is so deliberately and completely loose, genuine and free, that his message plainly is purely 'i dont care', and that is a fair and sane response to the present modern world. I have to add that its also curiously attractive rythmic, magnetic. the motion his strokes is essential, which is also very happy

[@ericdavidwallace]

So true his loose, genuine and free, style and 'i dont care' attitude is so refreshing especially in todays world.

People find it incomprehensible that someone would scribble like that but it is essentially the same thing as sitting at a piano and improvising melodies and rhythms... I think Twombly liked rhythm and his drawings were like little jam sessions wherein he explored and enjoyed drawing as a kind of experience.

I am of two minds on Cy. Some days I admire him and some days I think he is full of shit. I think I’m right on both counts. He appears not to care. Maybe he didn’t. The question is why should we?

[@RockerfellerRothchild1776]

the True Art of His... is the Selling of His Art....
