CY TWOMBlY BY EDITh SChlOSS “Cy’s death is a blow and quite haunts me. Ceccobelli was here and told me about his funeral at Chiesa Nuova, OUR ChURCh. I wondered why he came to Rome to die. Then it dawned on me that he wanted to be near Keats. It was true. I am writing about all our delicious meetings… Will send it soon.” Edith. Pietrasanta, 17 July 2011.*

n the Gianicolo hill a little cannon in an ornamental lighthouse used to boom every day at noon. Just before this lola and I would amble over to Cy and Tatia’s house. It was said to have been inhabited once by a pope, had great marble floors, rows of gilded baroque chairs and wicked emperors’ busts on marble columns, as well as choice modern artefacts, for instance a Duchamp spinning disk. A few years before, when I was still an art critic at Art News, Cy Twombly had been something of a sensation in the New York art world. The followers of the conservative Dr Frankfurter, who was responsible for the articles on art history and antiques, objected to a review by some unknown poet, Frank O’hara, not an art historian, who for his living sold postcards and tickets at MoMA. he had written a rave about some beige dense abstractions. “Cream-coloured screams,” he had called them. There had even been a special editorial conference at Art News if there was such a thing as creamcoloured screams. Fairfield Porter, larry Campbell, Jimmy Schuyler and I were on the side of Frank and Tom [hess, the editor – ed.]. Frankfurter thought Frank’s praise was madly exaggerated and that such absurd stuff should have no place in an art magazine. But Tom’s way was set. At the Castelli Gallery, I saw rows and rows of charcoaly scrawls like keening writing, rows and rows leaning in a sideways crowd, as close as stalks on a wheat field or toilet markings, the loose scrawly technique like writing. I didn’t particularly like or dislike them. here in Rome, over us hung huge canvases. I looked at them while I listened to art world gossip. Now the writing was much looser and it was interspersed with feathery squeaky daubs of paint in petal colours, thumbmarks, splotches. After a few noon sittings in the Twomblys’ apartment one day I was caught. These pictures were blazing. They were both about an old world and a new one. I could suddenly see with rapture. On white woven and smoothed fields all those fresh bits of paint, crumbly, juicy, smeary. Rose pinks, blood reds, larkspur blues, jonquil yellows, bile greens and death and hell black. Athena with wiggling snakes and owl; Europe riding a beast; bubbling birth of Apollo; leda and billowing swan. Zeus and Bacchus frolicking in earnest; Danae embracing clouds of gold; hero and leander sinking in cruel turmoil of purples. All in vast Mediterranean sky. All those creepy needs of gods like everyone else in the grip of domineering, leering flight and tender surrenders. Cy himself Wanted in Rome 21 March 2012

sat enthroned under them in smiling appreciation. “I like my last paintings up while I still have a crush on them,” he said. Early in Rome, when I was stuck with my still lifes in front of Siena or Rome views, Umberto [Bignardi – ed.], who painted a sort of refined pop art, said, “I’m going to tell you something Cy showed me.” he commenced to draw haphazard phrases and names on the white paper, rows of scrawly scrawls. Tattery like the edges of clouds, involved like bumblebee flight. he told me to do the same. We made patterns and patterns and webs. All this was to catch the dabs and dashes of paint and voilà – the beginning, no, also the end of a picture. This was a lesson I never let go and I practice it today. As a new ploy Galleria Arco di Rab, a gallery run by friends, hosted a series of shows in which a double was featured. One was a well-established artist, the other was less known; the lesser was introduced by the big shot, so to speak. My friend Gina Spengler had an idea. “hey, Edith,” she said, “you are friends with Cy Twombly so why don’t you ask him to introduce you?” When I did Cy had a fit on the phone. “Oh baby, I can’t do that,” he wailed. “I have been to these introductions in Germany, so solemn and jabbering. You stand around drink in hand waiting to drink it while someone goes on and on, saying perfectly meaningless stuff.” “Oh, no,” I interrupted, “not that kind of introduction, not a speech, Cy, all I ask is to lend me some of your pictures, to hang alongside my own, to show you support me.” “If that is all…” he relaxed at once. “Well, of course,” he said with relief, “just come at once and choose some.” I went over to Piazza Ricci where I met him at Pierluigi’s, a simple trattoria then, where all the poor writers, composers and painters ate. he turned open a complicated number of old locks. The apartment was melancholy now, the parties gone, the family dispersed – he lived in a farm in Alto lazio and a palazzo in Gaeta – but the pictures had increased. They were stacked and stacked, leaning face to the wall, jammed. I had to smile. Cy had a dirty secret like the rest of us: a surfeit of unsold work. he turned things over here and there. “Is this alright – that?” Everything is alright, I thought gratefully, and let him choose. he carried several of his unwieldy works unwrapped under his arm, trudging across Corso Vittorio Emanuele, past Borromini’s lofty oratorium for St Filippo Neri, past the church of Chiesa Nuova where Rubens and Tiepolo looked down, until he came to my apartment in Via del Corallo. looking out of the kitchen window he exclaimed at my glassed-in balcony over the humdrum courtyard with the washing lines criss-crossing and weeds on the roof nodding down.“This reminds me of Istanbul,” but he hardly looked at the paintings, mine and those of the others on the walls. 3

Twombly was captivated by the hooker's Green colour of the plates. Photo by Jacob Burckhardt.

When he came to show openings he usually smiled around politely, then signed the book. There was one exception, Giancarlino, who used to stand in front of his tiny shop-studio in an alley in old Rome where he had a raw duck canvas nailed to the wall, covering it with his crafty signs. Giancarlino’s very bright and knows to be pure and truly instinctive. Cy bought his work. Now he was arrested by my piattiera, an oak antique I had bargained for at the flea market, Porta Portese. It was filled with a row of plates on a yellowish beige clay ground. But the potter had swept green glazes over them. The green wept and ran in fringes and rains and jittery splashes down each one. It was pungent and bad. It is called hooker’s Green. Cy stared and stared at this green. It was the event of his morning. he had met some sour new being. I saw years later at the Gagosian Gallery that he had absorbed that pungent but thirst-stilling green on a large canvas about an oasis. A colour assaults a painter like an emotion, like a food. It’s visceral. The shock brings you delight and despair: red, the squeezed blood of murder or sacrifices or ripe grapes. Green like the still pond with moss ferns or worms in its depth, violet in waves violently choking left lovers; yellow, running pus or sinking summer sun. It’s a taste, leaving something new and full inside you. Was I wrong or had hooker’s Green hooked him in Via Corallo? New Yorkers didn’t pay much attention to his occasional shows here at all and considered him not really into things, simply not tough enough. Not facing the dirt and hardships of New York was treachery. We were sitting in the trattoria at the corner of Via Monserrato and Piazza Moretta, where once the gallows had stood. I liked the place because they filled a huge vase with fresh flowers from their orchard each morning. Cy liked it because they made desserts from American cake mixes. “They say you come from the New York Expressionists,” I dared to say. “I haven’t got much to do with them,” he replied. “You know in Black Mountain I had a teacher who showed me older Germans, before even Nolde. There

was Max Slevogt and lovis Corinth. I studied those dirty, crumbly, wild crummy paintings, much terrific loose colour.” In New York they think you are too Europeanised,” I ventured politely. I meant the Roman leisurely upper-class life with Tatia and family, the dregs of Dolce Vita surrounding him had estranged him from New York hardship and roughness (not that later his friends Bob Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns had ever laboured too much in that respect either). I told him that Rackstraw Downes, the stern realist painter, had said to me: “That Cy is spoilt.” At which my companion grinned sheepishly, a forkful of delicious Aunt Jemima chocolate cream pie poised on his fork. “You mean like this?” he said, before gobbling it up with childish delight. Cy was wily and savvy and he was still the unbound American. he could demolish a rave of mine in one instance. “have you been to the School of Athens lately?” he would tease gaily. In those days I still wondered what he saw in Raphael but we agreed on Poussin’s triumphs. I told him how I liked the shepherds at the altar in Arcadia in the exquisitely restrained show Balthus had arranged at the French Academy, and he shared my admiration. Anybody newer (contemporary – ed.) was not mentioned and he liked to scatter mischief when I raised my modern preferences. I went on about Klee’s harbour I had recently seen at the Kunstmuseum in Basel. “Oh yeah,” he sighed, “I too liked Klee when I was a teenager.” And when I mentioned the shows of Piranesi’s wallowing etchings of Roman archaeological sites, he said: “Every dentist I know has one in his waiting room.” When I talked about a recent Eric Fischl show in New York he nodded. “Oh yes, that porn Fairfield Porter.” That hurt. When I went to Cy’s solo show at GNAM it was vast and brimming. After my hours under his paintings on the walls of Via Monserrato I was primed. There were scrawls and clouds and ledas and Danaes now meant sound and fury. We studied and enjoyed scrawls and quicksand divings and concise signs and portents. The tales of gods and mortals were around us, spidery traces, excrements, pastel pollen, petal smears, rustling, stirring, sweetly funky, milky or hairy thick, garlands of events screaming and dreaming, funny, daily, wicked or mild, tearing at our innards. Wide open your eyes! After Cy’s death people sometimes would stop me and ask: “What do you really see in Twombly’s work?” The question itself reveals they don’t want to see anything for themselves. So I only replied as defiantly as I could: “he is the most lyrical painter of our time.” To my sorrow the sophisticated, rich and instructed think so too. But let them. Edith Schloss * This was on a postcard from Edith to me last summer. Edith did not complete the article before she died in December 2011 but left a folder with enough material for me to reconstruct what her tribute to Twombly probably would have been. Mary Wilsey.

TERRACINA: BETWEEN SEA AND SKY A sunny seaside resort and fishermen's port is full of surprises

he imposing ruins of the ancient Temple of Jove Anxur tower high over the fishing port of Terracina. From there you get a breathtaking view that sweeps over the Riviera of Ulysses from the Circeo peninsula to Gaeta. Across the sea, the Pontine Islands bob mistily on the far horizon and, if it’s a really clear day, you can also make out Vesuvius and the blue outlines of Ischia and Procida off the Sorrento coast. Behind you glimmers the coastal lake of Fondi and the surrounding plain, densely covered with olives and orange groves and various cultivations. You can walk or drive up Monte S. Angelo, as the temple hill has been called since Christian times. The summit with the archaeological remains, however, is laid out as a park, with winding footpaths leading up to the temple terrace on the old acropolis. There is a small entry charge to the enclosed area, where you can picnic under the shade of the olives and holm oaks, or you can purchase a snack at the Tempio di Giove café right at the top. This café has been run by the Campi family for three generations and is one of the most romantic spots you can possibly imagine. Their visiting cards carry the slogan: “Where sky and sea unite under the stars”. In summer, in fact, it is open in the evenings, complete with live music and comfortable divans, where you can admire the moon reflected on the water below. Terracina has an attractive new town on the level land around the port, but its true fascination lies in its old town, which rambles steeply up the hill beneath Monte S. Angelo. For many centuries it was a key strategic point on the Old Appian Way leading south from Rome to Capua and the signs of its former importance and prosperity are everywhere. The Romans captured it from the Volschi people, who had called it Anxur (hence the temple name) and hacked out the great rocky cutting, known as the Pisco Montano, to allow the Appia to pass along the coast. The 38m-high split at the edge of town is Terracina’s most striking landmark. A section of the Old Appian Way runs along one side of the monumental main square of the old town, which was once the site of the Emilia Forum (named after local magistrate Aulus Aemiulius, whose name is inscribed on the stillintact original paving). This square is like an open history book documenting the various phases of Terracina’s history. The modern town hall runs along one side, attached to the mediaeval Frumentaria (or grain) tower that incorporates an authentic little jewel of a museum containing a collection of Roman antiquities found in the area. The remains of the Roman theatre are scattered on the opposite side, alongside the Roman road. The top end is enclosed by the old bishop’s palace (you can walk through the garden) and the magnificent romanesque cathedral, with its grand entry

The ancient Temple of Jove Anxur sits high above Terracina.

porch of ancient Roman granite columns and its mediaeval bell tower decorated with polychrome ceramic plates that gleam in the sun. Down in the “modern” town (we’re talking about buildings dating mainly from the 18th-19th century) with its busy little fishermen’s harbour and port where ferries leave daily for the Pontine Islands, you can eat freshly caught fish at the fishermen's cooperative (Centro Ittico Cooperativa dei Pescatori) on the side of the navigation canal that snakes through the town centre. local fishermen and their wives got together a few years ago and extended the premises of the fish market to create an informal self-service restaurant. The menu changes every day, according to the catch, and prices are very reasonable. Be warned that the place has become so popular that in summer you may have to queue. Alternatively, you can try a couple of similar operations that have since sprung up, just round the corner. Terracina is virtually an oasis in the middle of the wild landscape of the Ausoni and Aurunci mountains. It only takes a short detour out of town to find yourself in another, primaeval world that has survived from the Mesozoic era. The vast karst plateau of Campo Soriano is only a few kilometres from Terracina (the road is signposted at the northern entrance to the town, branching off from the Via Appia). A designated protected area since 1997, it extends over some three square kilometres, filled with the jumbled remains of a limestone bedrock stratum eroded over countless millennia, creating an environment of haunting beauty and mystery. The road leads through a surrealistic landscape of jagged rock formations that look as if they had been tossed around heedlessly by giants. Patches of meadow and vineyards pop up among sinkholes and caves. An eight-kilometre hike or drive takes you to the symbol of the park, a towering 18m-high monolithic crag known as the “Cathedral” because of its pointed, gothiclike spires. local people, however, give it other names, such as the “Artichoke”, the “Pinnacle”, the “Rock Pyramid”, or the “Rava di S. Domenico” and attribute to it mysterious powers. Margaret Stenhouse

Nearby Campo Sorano is home to the 18m-high Cathedral rock.

MARIO SASSO, CÒLLANT 5-31 March For decades, Mario Sasso has explored the theme of the city, and the possibilities of painting, video, electronics, and unorthodox materials. These aspects are also present in his latest solo exhibition at Mara Coccia Arte Contemporanea, entitled Còllant. The exhibition consists of two parts, each with a different installation, title and curator (Silvia Bordini and Annalisa Filonzi respectively), and is connected to the 150th anniversary of the unification of Italy – though it rather hints at its current fragmentation. The main work of the first part, Dove si incontrano le città (3 Feb-3 March), was a wall-bound piece whose inkjet-printed, shaped, padded PVC elements are based on a Piranesi print from Le Antichità Romane, of fragments of the Forma Urbis, the monumental marble map of Rome created under Septimius Severus at the beginning of the 3rd century AD. The second part, Frammenti morali di contemporaneità (5-31 March), presents a wall-sized video projection of a walk, made at the first lights of dawn, through the centre of Rome in places historically associated with power (See cover of this edition). Here too there are inkjet-printed, padded PVC elements, shaped like the 20 regions of Italy, in two different configurations: as a floor piece, with the ‘regions’ arranged in three groups, each painted with one colour of the Italian flag; and as a wallbound tableau, where the magnetised elements can be arranged as desired by the public. Is a different Italy possible?, the artist seems to say. Mara Coccia Associazione per la promozione dell’arte contemporanea, Via del Vantaggio 46/a, tel. 063224434, www.maracoccia.com.

ROME CLUB GUY & RONI 27 March In Alpha Boys, choreography by Guy Weizman and Roni Haver. The Club Guy & Roni set-up was founded in 2002 by Haver and Weizman. It is described as a “collaborating force, which brings together dancers and other artists from around the world to create a melting pot of ideas”. In its quest for innovation, the Club works with artists from other disciplines such as music, film, theatre, science and visual arts. A key feature of the Club is to generate new music so composers such as Heiner Goebbels and Michael Gordon have written original scores for the Club’s creations. Alpha Boys is based on the Language of Walls which was originally created for women, but this new version is performed entirely by men. It tells the story of a band of seven men, as they hang around in a bar and

EDWARD ACZEL 6 April edward Aczel is a stand-up english comedian. He comes to Rome courtesy of the oppio Caffé, whose new initiative called “Cocktail Comedy Club” makes it the first Italian comedy club with an international vocation. Reviewing his show in edinburgh last summer, The Guardian critic described Aczel as “the least funny comic on the fringe. Forget jokes, timing and technique: Aczel serves up rumpled, shuffling, semi-audible comedy. His genre is really “anti-comedy”, embraced by comics who get their laughs by being so-badthey’re-good.” In english. oppio Caffé, Via delle Terme di Tito 72, tel. 064745262, www.cocktailcomedyclub.it.

READING CLUB IN ROME on Wednesday nights the Reading Club in Rome gathers over a glass of wine to discuss themes associated with great literary minds, including Descartes, Huxley, Carver, Freud, einstein, Planck and Gogol. Founded by Louise Vinciguerra, the Reading Club in Rome is inspired by Vienna’s Psychological Wednesday Society where Sigmund Freud assembled his learned contemporaries every Wednesday to discuss the “oh-so-pressing” issues of life. The process begins when Vinciguerra selects a piece, in english, and emails it to members who then collectively choose a new rendezvous. The meeting centres around a series of questions on the text’s theme. Vinciguerra says that the only requirement is that members read the piece beforehand, communicate if they are attending, and bring an open mind. The pieces are rarely more than 10 pages long, and are usually extracts from novels or plays, poems or essays. “It never fails, when you put a few curious people in one room over a bottle of wine and an amazing literary piece, after just a few questions I find magic begins to happen – says Vinciguerra – the pieces really come to life when you start discussing them and more than that, ideas which once seemed so certain, slowly begin to change – which for me is the essence of the group. openness to seeing, appreciating and sharing the many perspectives the world has to offer.” All newcomers are welcome.

Die Zauberflöte by Mozart comes to Rome in the David McVicar production from London's Covent Garden.

OPERA NOTES Both naples and Palermo are staging new productions at the end of March. I Masnadieri, one of Verdi’s lesser-known operas, goes on stage at the S. Carlo in naples conducted by nicola Luisotti and directed by Gabriele Lavia, well-known in Italian theatrical circles. In Palermo Hugo de Ana is responsible for a new production of Boris Godunov by Mussorgski. Die Zauberflöte at Rome’s opera house is the David McVicar production first staged at Covent Garden ten years ago. Il Teatro S. Carlo di napoli presenta un nuovo allestimento di I Masnadieri, (21-31 marzo), una delle opere meno conosciute e poco rappresentate di Giuseppe Verdi, che fu scritta nel 1847 per il Her Majesty’s Theatre di Londra e per Jenny Lind, un soprano popolarissimo all’epoca, che arrivava a note acutissime ed eseguiva agilità difficili e spericolate. I masnadieri napoletani vedranno Lucrecia Garcia nel ruolo che fu della Lind, con al fianco cantanti che frequentano spesso i palcoscenici italiani: Aquiles Machado, Vladimir Stoyanov e Giacomo Prestia; la direzione d’orchestra sarà affidata a nicola Luisotti. La regia sarà di Gabriele Lavia, nome noto della prosa italiana, che mise in scena l’opera al Teatro Verdi di Pisa quasi trent’anni fa, come ha fatto più volte (anche sostenendovi un ruolo da attore) con «I Masnadieri» di Friedrich Schiller, la “pièce” teatrale che ha ispirato il libretto del titolo verdiano. Al Teatro Massimo di Palermo sarà rappresentato Boris Godunov di Modest Musorgskij (23-30 marzo), in una nuova produzione di Hugo de Ana, regista di due apprezzati spettacoli già visti in questo teatro negli ultimi anni: «Lohengrin» di Wagner e «Senso» di Tutino. Musorgskij realizzò una prima stesura di Boris Godunov nel 1869, che però fu bocciata dal Comitato dei Teatri Imperiali per la novità e il carattere inconsueto della musica; seguì una seconda versione nel 1872 che attenuava le “originalità” della prima, fu ugualmente respinta ma venne però rappresentata due anni dopo con un sostanzioso numero di tagli, ottenendo un sensazionale successo di pubblico nonostante la condanna della critica. A Palermo Boris Godunov sarà presentata in questa seconda versione, con Ferruccio Furlanetto nella parte del protagonista e la direzione di George Pehlivanian. Al Teatro dell’opera di Roma arriva Die Zauberflöte di Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (27 marzo-1 aprile) con la direzione di erik nielsen e con l’affermato Markus Werba e l’emergente Juan Francisco Gatell, nei ruoli dell’eroico Tamino e dello spassoso “uccellatore” Papageno. David McVicar sarà il regista di un allestimento realizzato una decina d’anni fa per il Covent Garden di Londra, con architetture classiche come scenografie e costumi di epoche diverse che vanno dal Settecento al novecento. Die Zauberflöte è l’ultima opera scritta da Mozart, a metà strada tra uno spettacolo serio e uno favolistico, che parla di misteriosi percorsi iniziatici massonici e lotte senza quartiere tra regine cattive e re buoni e saggi. Paolo Di Nicola
