The Scribbled Soul
With Patricia Baldwin SeggebruchIn a world obsessed with legibility and 'perfect' art, Cy Twombly offers us a radical alternative: the beauty of the mark itself. Twombly didn't paint pictures of things; he painted the feeling of things—the energy of a myth, the heat of a summer day, or the messy vitality of a memory. This course invites you to move past the fear of the "meaningless" mark and into the profound power of your own unique artistic handwriting. We will explore how to take up space, how to let our emotions guide our hands, and how to find the bold intensity"that lives within abstraction.
