“My line is childlike but not childish,”

Cy Twombly’s work are largely influenced by the Roman and Greek mythology however, in the form of childlike doodling. He is able to perfectly execute the mixture of two western accent, traditional European sources and new American painting. With inspiration from Paul Klee, Twombly’s artworks uniformly have a strong presence of childlike approach yet a lasting influence.

Leda and the Swan (1962)

One of Twombly’s most accomplished works, illustrates his career-long attraction to the stories, literature, and events of classical antiquity.

In my opinion, I feel that Twombly had exquisitely displayed the essence of applying his own personality into his drawings/ painting. His childlike approach on all his paintings showed appreciation of the “naive” and “untainted” aspects of children’s art. He is able to express a wide array of topics from social issues in the past to art history and finally to his own life experiences while conforming to his own dynamic style.

His childlike approach on all his paintings showed appreciation of the “naive” and “untainted” aspects of children’s art by utilizing basic mark making techniques like scratching, ink and pen marks. He is even able to express a wide array of topics from social issues in the past to art history and finally to his own life experiences while conforming to his own dynamic style.

Andy Warhol is a magazine and ad illustrator and the leading artist of 1960s pop art movements. In 1961, Warhol developed a brand new concept, pop art, in which paintings are revolved around mass produced commercial goods which quickly gained worldwide recognition and causing a stir in the art world.

Personally, I feel that Warhol brings mark making to a whole new level as he is able to incorporate colour ink to his paintings while creating a balance between the wide array of psychedelic colours in each of his portraits. Adding on, it is amazing and astounding how Warhol is able to breathe life and vibrancy to even the most mundane portraits and household items we probably have at home.
