Cy Twombly the photographer

The Centre for Fine Arts BOZAR in Brussels (Belgium) presents Cy Twombly. Photographs 1951-2010, an exhibition with more than 100 dry prints, generated from Polaroid photographs, which were selected in close cooperation with the artist himself prior to his death on July 5th, 2011.

Cy Twombly's photographs have been a rather recent discovery. Snapping photographs with his Polaroid camera since his student days, the artist did not make available to the public his photographic material until the 90s.

The subject matter of his photographs varies considerably. From still-life images of flowers and brushes, snap shots of his studio and museums interiors, details from his paintings to views of ancient temples and atmospheric landscapes, the ethereal and delicate photographs reveal the themes that have nourished the artist’s paintings, drawings, sculptures and graphic art.

The exhibition includes a number of paintings by Cy Twombly and the intimate cinematic portrait Edwin Parker by artist Tacita Dean as a tribute to the recently deceased greatest artist of our times.

Date: until April 29.
Place: Centre for Fine Arts- Foyers adjoining the Henry Le Bœuf Hall. Rue Ravensteinstraat 23. 1000 Brussels. Belgium.
Opening hours: from Tuesday to Sunday, from 10am to 6pm.
