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 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 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)
