In and out of focus

Abstract Expressionist Cy Twombly has been taking photographs since his Black Mountain College days in the early fifties, though they've understandably been eclipsed by his painting and sculpture. Cy Twombly: Photographs 1951-2007 attempts to remedy this, even if many of the photos in the book (like the beach scene pictured here), are out of focus. Nonetheless, the ethereal glimpses of his studios and snatches of works in progress are a must-see for any enthusiast, and provide a glimpse at Twombly's artistic process. A master of abstract photography? Definitely.
