Cy Twombly an accomplished and somewhat controversial artist passed away at age 83 recently. A contemporary of Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns, Twombly's works were known for their abstract expression often times on canvases painted to look like chalk scribbling on a black board or graffiti on a wall. Yet to me the experience of his art went beyond simply seeing doodle, scribbles or graffiti, but instead evoked a base feeling -- something akin to child's view of the world combined with contours, both good and bad, that come from the experience of life's joys and disappointments. Check out his work and several excellent articles at:http://www.cytwombly.info/
Life brings us into many seasons. This blog represents the Sterling Season. It is a season for all people in any age. It is a season of quality and weathered polish. Like many blogs it is simply one person's outlet -- a commentary on style, beauty, wonder, life and love.
