Cy Twombly, born Edwin Parker Twombly Jr. on April 25, 1928 in Lexington, Virginia – died July 5, 2011 in Rome, was an American painter, draftsman, sculptor and photographer.

Cy Twombly belongs to the generation of Robert Rauschenberg, Jasper Johns, or Brice Marden, renewing American art after the generation of Abstract Expressionists like Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, or Barnett Newman.

His work intersects some of the major issues of 20th-century art, such as the abstraction/figuration dilemma, the influence of psychoanalysis, primitivism, the role of writing and sign in painting, homage to the ancients (mythology, poetry, ancient painting), and the artistic links between Europe and America.
