Cy Twombly "Blooming" at GAGOSIAN GALLERY

James Kalm once again goes undercover to bring viewers unauthorized video of Cy Twombly's latest exhibition of paintings, "Blooming: A Scattering of Blossoms and Other Things". With this collection of recent paintings Twombly has encouraged his most lyrical expressions. With a poetic sense influenced by the elegant simplicity of haiku, these pieces have a reduced color spectrum and a basic repeated form manifest as bursts of blooming blossoms. Despite having lived in Europe for the last fifty years, Twombly still holds a major place in postwar American painting. These works bare witness to his continuing vigor as a major influence among young artists.

Could YOU make these paintings BEFORE you saw them?

[MrWowforever]

nexicidious.....i don't like Tennis, but i wouldn't waste my time on a Tennis blog telling Tennis fans that Tennis was 'hilarious' and 'ridiculous'. I just don't care.

@quintincollins Not good enough, try again.

It's funny to see some these people feeling threatened by a painting. It's a painting on a wall ... it can't hurt you. You don't like , don' t look at it. Find something constructive to do with your time, sad sacks.

[quintincollins]

@ejdf870 wow, looking at the "happy tree" paintings hasn't helped you deal with your impotent rage issues. Cheer up.

[ejdf870]

@quintincollins I think I won this argument many moons ago. Too bad it took you over 3 months to come up with the "Bob Ross" comment, which you probably overheard in a Bushwick dive bar from some trust fund, pothead, hipster scumbag.

Try again, asshole, I'm not impressed.

@ejdf870 hey teebagger, did you get lost on your way to a Bob Ross video?

11 people work at the Gagosian.

There should be a stand-alone museum dedicated to his work.

@quintincollins Typical liberal-elitist douche bag- when he can't refute your claims with an intelligent debate based on logic and reason, he gets personal in a desperate attempt to sound clever.

[quintincollins]

@ejdf870 well, if YOU guarantee it, then it must be so. BTW my 6 year-old nephew writes much wittier Youtube comments than you.
