Cy Twombly: The Natural World, Selected Works (Art Institute of Chicago) - Tapa dura

Cy Twombly's distinctive artworks merge drawing, painting, and symbolic gesture in the pursuit of a direct, intuitive form of expression. Much of the artist's recent output interprets the natural world, often through references to gardens and landscapes."Cy Twombly: The Natural World, Selected Works, 2000-2007" features more than 30 paintings, works on paper, photographs, and sculptures. Published in full cooperation with the artist, this handsome book speaks to both continuity and innovation in Twombly's work, underscoring the ongoing creative vitality of one of the greatest American artists of our time.
