Studio Notes - My Time With Cy Twombly

For the last twenty years of his life, Cy Twombly returned annually to Lexington, his hometown in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley. As proof of his attachment, he bought a house and, during his long visits in spring and autumn, created a number of important works in modest studios he rented nearby. However, he spent much of his time observing the rhythms of the small university town, taking long drives in the countryside and exploring entertainments with a small circle of acquaintances. One of these was photographer Rob McDonald.
