The Exquisite American artist Cy Twombly died yesterday. He was, like our very own Mr. Hockney, deeply interested in the work of old masters, nature, literature and printmaking. An exhibition of his work (together with works by Nicolas Poussin) is currently on display at Dulwich Picture Gallery as part of their 200 years celebrations.
Mr. Hockney's painting Mr and Mrs Clark and Percy will be shown as part of the gallery's Masterpiece a month exhibition, later this year.
Mr. Twombly did his own thing without much care for any current vogue in the art world. Bravo to that.
