Abstract

Death is a life process that for artists has always been a theme of inspiration regardless of their plastic field and historical moment. This important transit is reflected in a series of pictorial works that the author Cy Twombly developed with his own self-expressionist technique: from these paintings whose theme is the great deaths of classic Latin characters, he joined the deaths with his own expressionist technique.
