Bio: edwin parker '' cy '' twombly , jr. -lrb- ; april 25 , 1928july 5 , 2011 -rrb- was an american painter , sculptor and photographer . he belonged to the generation of robert rauschenberg and jasper johns but made the specific choice to live in europe -lrb- italy -rrb- after 1957 . his paintings of large-scale , freely scribbled , calligraphic and graffiti-like works on solid fields of mostly gray , tan , or off-white colors are in the permanent collections of most of the museums of modern art around the world , including the menil collection in houston , the tate modern in london or the new york 's museum of modern art . he was also commisionned for the ceiling of a room of the musee du louvre in paris . many of his later paintings and works on paper shifted toward '' romantic symbolism '' , and their titles can be interpreted visually through shapes and forms and words . twombly often quoted the poets as stephane mallarme , rainer maria rilke , john keats ... , as well as many classical myths and allegories in his works . examples of this are his '' apollo and the artist '' and a series of eight drawings consisting solely of inscriptions of the word '' virgil '' . in a 1994 retrospective , curator kirk varnedoe described twombly 's work as '' influential among artists , discomfiting to many critics and truculently difficult not just for a broad public , but for sophisticated initiates of postwar art as well . '' after acquiring twombly 's '' three studies from the temeraire '' -lrb- 1998 -- 99 -rrb- , the director of the art gallery of new south wales said , '' sometimes people need a little bit of help in recognising a great work of art that might be a bit unfamiliar . '' twombly is said to have influenced younger artists such as jean-michel basquiat , anselm kiefer , francesco clemente , and julian schnabel .
