Cy Twombly

Artist Cy Twombly, the influential American painter known for his signature scrawl, died Tuesday at a Rome hospital. He was 83.

Mr. Twombly painted vast canvases marked by smears of paint, half-erased graffiti, random scratches and occasional lines of poetry that evoked a connection between the world of classical mythology and the vibrant street culture of modern life. 

Twombly inspired me when I study art in school and his paintings will continue to inspire many.
