cy twombly
Have just seen something that has reminded me of Cy Twombly.
Why oh why do I love his work? It bypasses rational thought and his work gets straight to my heart.
My lover raises his eyes to heaven whenever I mention this. He has no idea why a set of scribbles can make me weep with joy.
But they do. He pierces my soul. I am going to get over to the Tate Modern and see him the moment I am back from my holiday.

If 2 + 2 = 4, then thank you very much indeed.
A set of scribbles can often make me weep for joy too (more the late works of Miro for me, but I think they're on the same plane in many respects).
Thanks again, and warm thoughts to you.
2+2 did indeed equal 4.
Don't know if you are in London but Cy is on at Tate Modern for a bit. I'm away at the moment but intend to get there on my return. Nothing will keep me away, and though finances are a bit tired at the moment I know I shall be tempted to buy one of those outlandishly expensive books of his work.
