Cy Twombly (1928–2011) was a truly amazing artist: painter, illustrator, sculptor, and photographer. To celebrate what would have been his 90th birthday, this documentary pays homage to the prolific American creator, a contemporary of Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns. An inspiring soundtrack carries the film, which offers viewers a look at the creative process and poetic soul of a loving and altruistic man. It’s a delicate and tender work in the image of an artist who inspired none other than Michel Basquiat, Anselm Kiefer, Francesco Clemente, and Julian Schnabel.
The International Film Festival on Art (FIFA) will be held from March 19 to March 31 and will premiere in Quebec City on March 18, 2019. Nearly 200 titles from 40 countries will be presented to the Montreal and Quebec audiences for this 37th edition.
