“To paint involves a certain crisis, or at least a
critical moment of sensation or release.”
Cy Twombly, 1957

Cy Twombly, whose spare, childlike scribbles and poetic engagement with antiquity left him stubbornly out of step with the movements of postwar American art even as he became one of the era’s most important painters, died on Tuesday in Rome. He was 83.
