Cy Twombly - From the Application category:
To paint involves a certain crisis, or at least a crucial moment of sensation or release. (Cy Twombly)
Cy Twombly - From the Artists category:
I look at a lot of artists I'm inspired by - I suppose I shouldn't say 'inspired,' but it's not really influenced. I am inspired. (Cy Twombly)
Cy Twombly - From the Colour category:
The Mediterranean is always just white, white, white. (Cy Twombly)
Cy Twombly - From the Communication category:
I was brought up to think you don't talk about yourself. (Cy Twombly)
Cy Twombly - From the Contentment category:
I have my pace and way of living, and I'm not looking for something. (Cy Twombly)
Cy Twombly - From the Criticism category:
I swear if I had to do this over again, I would just do the paintings and never show them. (Cy Twombly)
Cy Twombly - From the Finishing category:
It's absurd to talk about paintings that you haven't finished. (Cy Twombly)
Cy Twombly - From the Innocence category:
It's a sort of infantile thing, painting. (Cy Twombly)
Cy Twombly - From the Lines category:
My line is childlike but not childish. It is very difficult to fake... to get that quality you need to project yourself into the child's line. It has to be felt. (Cy Twombly)
Cy Twombly - From the Mediums category:
Paint is something that I use with my hands and do all those tactile things. I really don't like oil because you can't get back into it, or you make a mess. It's not my favourite thing... pencil is more my medium than wet paint. (Cy Twombly)
Cy Twombly - From the Methodology category:
I work in an impatient way. (Cy Twombly)
Cy Twombly - From the Painting category:
White paint is my marble. (Cy Twombly)
Cy Twombly - From the Planning category:
I used to change things in my early paintings to get the nuance or feeling I wanted, but now I plan everything in my head before I do it. (Cy Twombly)
Cy Twombly - From the Preparation category:
When I work, I work very fast, but preparing to work can take any length of time. (Cy Twombly)
Cy Twombly - From the Sculpture category:
I love my sculptures, and I was lucky I had them for 50 years because no one would look at them, and I really liked having them around. (Cy Twombly)
Cy Twombly - From the Subject category:
When I grew up, in summer with my parents we were always... by the sea. You know, sometimes little boys love cars, but I had a particular passion for boats... (Cy Twombly)
Cy Twombly - From the Time category:
I sit for two or three hours and then in 15 minutes I can do a painting, but that's part of it. You have to get ready and decide to jump up and do it; you build yourself up
psychologically, and so painting has no time for brush. (Cy Twombly)
Cy Twombly - From the Words category:
Graffiti is linear and it's done with a pencil, and it's like writing on walls. But in my paintings it's more lyrical. (Cy Twombly)
Cy Twombly - From the Work category:
I work in waves, because I'm impatient. Because of a certain physicality, of lack of breath from standing. It has to be done and I do take liberties I wouldn't have taken before. (Cy Twombly)
Cy Twombly - From the Work category:
I don't work 9 to 5. (Cy Twombly)
