Although 350 years apart, the careers of Nicolas Poussin (1594-1665) and Cy Twombly (1928-2011) followed parallel paths. Each artist arrived as a foreigner in Rome at the age of thirty, and stayed to become the leading painter of their respective eras. The two artists track each other across the centuries, setting up a dialogue that can inform how we see each of them: Twombly through Poussin, Poussin through Twombly. Out of such dialogues, revelations can come.
