Reflections on art and architecture by TIME critic Richard Lacayo.
Cy Twombly at the Tate
Quattro Stagioni: Autunno, Cy Twombly, 1993-95 /© CY TWOMBLY

The very first impression one would normally get after looking at Twombly's paintings is flashy, near blazing yet not conflagrating. His display of color invigorates one's normally calm emotion.
Most arts are beyond words. Their beauty lies in the eyes of the beholders.
It is wonderful that the octogenarian chooses to continue exercising his brushes on the canvas. The art world will doubtlessly enjoy his fruits.
