Cy Twombly Catalogue Raisonné of Drawings Vol. 1 includes works on paper produced between 1951 and 1955. It includes several works on paper that the artist produced in Lexington, VA between 1951 and 1952 which will be of particular interest to scholars focused on his early practice. It also catalogues entries from early sketchbooks as well as his famed North African Sketchbooks (1953). It is an indispensable resource for scholars writing about either the sketchbooks themselves or their substantive connections to subsequent paintings, as the sketchbooks are reproduced here in their entirety. The volume also includes Study for Tiznit (1953), a preliminary for one of Twombly?s more frequently exhibited early paintings, and sketches completed in Augusta, Georgia while Twombly was stationed there during his brief military service. The latter will be of particular interest to those writing about Twombly?s line and his idiosyncratic hand, as this was the method through which he later reported developing his signature childlike (but never childish) scrawl. The volume also includes a large set of drawings the artist reportedly intended to publish as an album, though this project never came to fruition. It will be of interest to scholars researching Twombly?s printmaking practice as well, as there are numerous formal resemblances to his later prints throughout; see Cy Twombly Catalogue Raisonné of Printed Graphic Work 1953?2002, ed. Heiner Bastian. Those researching the North African Sketchbooks might also consult Anne-Grit Becker?s ?Marks and Material in Cy Twombly's North African Sketchbooks? (2017) and Cycles and Seasons, ed. Nicholas Serota (2008). The relationship between early paintings and drawings is discussed in Carol A. Nigro?s ?Cy Twombly?s Humanist Upbringing? (2008). For more on early works, including those produced at Black Mountain College, primary sources are gathered and reproduced in Writings on Cy Twombly, ed. Nicola del Roscio (2002). Those interested in Twombly?s line and the ?unlearning? of his hand, as well as later iterations like the ?blackboard? paintings, should consult Roland Barthes?s classic text ?The Wisdom of Art? (1979) as well as the catalogue in which it originally appeared, Cy Twombly: Paintings and Drawings 1954?1977. The Gagosian Gallery catalogue In Beauty it is finished: Drawings 1951?2008 (2018) also includes relevant material, as does Cy Twombly at the Hermitage: Fifty Years of Works on Paper, ed. Julie Sylvester (2008). There are also many connections to the sculptures, especially via the North African Sketchbooks, on which see Kate Nesin, Cy Twombly?s Things (2014).

Volume 2 of "Cy Twombly Catalogue Raisonné of Drawings" covers the very fruitful years between 1956 and 1960. Still a resident of New York in 1956, Twombly moves to Italy in early 1957 where he will stay, with intervals, until the end of his life. His first shows in Galleria La Tartaruga in Rome, Galleria del Cavallino, Venice, and Galleria del Naviglio, Milan, make him well-known in European avant-garde circles. In the summer of 1959 he rents an apartment in the village of Sperlonga at the Tyrrhenian Sea between Rome and Naples. Here he creates his sequence "Poems to the Sea" influenced by Mallarmé's poetry. The year 1959 is also marked by the artist's marriage and the birth of his son Alessandro in December. His work is increasingly dealing with color, yielding most beautiful colored drawings. The influence of street graffiti, too, is evident in his work incorporating explicit sexual allusions and jokes. At the end of 1960 Cy Twombly has his first solo exhibition at the Leo Castelli Gallery in New York.

<p>Cy Twombly (1928-1011) a laissé une œuvre d’une polyvalence, d’une sensibilité et d’une originalité prodigieuses. Longtemps resté peu connu du public, il a suivi son propre parcours artistique avec une ténacité sans précédent, loin des grandes tendances de son époque. Au moment de sa mort, toutefois, à l’âge de 83 ans, il avait acquis une notoriété internationale et était reconnu comme l’un des plus grands artistes et l’un des plus originaux de la fin du XXe siècle et du début du XXIe siècle. Né à Lexington, en Virginie, son itinéraire l’a conduit – après un détour par l’illustre Black Mountain College et par New York – en Europe, où il élit résidence en Italie en 1957. Très tôt, il va élaborer un mode d’écriture très personnel, fait de lettres et de mots et qui évoque une poésie peinte. Les dieux de la Grèce antique, la lumière méditerranéenne, l’histoire, la culture et la mythologie de l’Occident trouvent leur place dans la poésie sensuelle qui constitue son art. Ce livre donne une première vue d’ensemble de l’œuvre complexe de Twombly ; il réunit les tableaux et cycles peints les plus importants ainsi qu’une bonne sélection de ses dessins, de ses sculptures et de ses photographies. </p> Paris, 2014 Hazan 240 p., relié sous jaquette. 25 x 29
