Cy Twombly: Photographs 1951-2007Ever since his student days, Cy Twombly has concerned himself with photography, but only in recent years has he turned it into a unique artistic concept and an aesthetic sensation. Twombly's photographic pieces are documents of a fascinatingly enigmatic and personal poetry. His studios in Lexington and Gaeta, details of his own sculptures and collected sculptural items, landscape motifs, fruits and flowers appear in a mysteriously transformed manner

he had done almost no personal photography in this medium

where he still lives and works

using his leftover film to capture self-portraits against well-considered backdrops and incorporating pose

covering many thousands of kilometres and visiting towns and cities dotting the way

Their words and images take us beyond the barricades that keep most of the media from the heart of the conflict

he offers comment on the distorted and ephemeral nature of grandeur and tradition

prints and drawings find inspiration in Indian and Persian miniatures

as well as wider questions around the representation of race

many women photographers found themselves under threat or forced into exile

It is through such attentive interrogation that we move closer to figuring out the meanings of freedom

and by many well-known twentieth-century artists
