ART OF TWOMBLY AND MIRO

 


Perhaps there are not two more notable artists that made art look easy than Cy Twombly and Joan Miro. 

Twombly produced large scale work using gestural painting that bordered on scribbles and calligraphy. Miro's paintings are often regarded as surrealistic in nature. The best ones though are simple drawings directing the unconscious, even childlike thoughts.

To me they are both line drawing artist. Simple lines turned into paintings, color splashes here and there to draw you in.

You keep thinking, I can do that, I can turn lines into fame, but you soon discover that you can't. Twombly and Miro were gifted in turning the simple into wonderful beautiful things to contemplate. Art indeed....
