Cy Twombly Exhibit

I was so excited to post about this artist, Cy Twombly, when I learned online this morning, the Portland Art Museum was going to showcase his work February - May 2010 and since Portland ME is only a short ride from where I live, how exciting! His work is amazing. At first pass, some of it looks like something you'd see on the walls of a preschool, but actually, it's the real deal - modern, beautiful and very thoughtful. 

The downside of this post is that his work will not be featured in Portland, ME, but in Portland OR - www.portlandartmuseum.org. But I decided to write about his work anyway and show you a few pieces because I think it's inspiring, and who knows, maybe Portland OR is nearby for you! Wouldn't you just love one of these pieces hanging in your house?
