Cy Twombly moved to Italy from the USA in 1957.
His ‘Poems to the Sea’ suite of twenty-four drawings were executed in a single day in 1959.
Twombly lived north of Rome at Bassano in Teverina. “Downstream from the city centre, not far away from the Tiber, lies Lake Vadimo, locally known as the "Pond", described by Pliny the Younger as "a lying wheel with a regular circumference [...] paler, greener and more intense than the sea." - Wikipedia
At the 1988 Venice Biennale he exhibited paintings responding to the Bassano in Teverina “Pond” along with unpainted plaster sculptures. Henry Weatherfield chanced upon that exhibition just hours before leaving Venice, that one time visit. “Paler, greener and more intense than the sea is the see", he later wrote.
