Cy Twombly's French Kiss

We never condone physical assaults on works of art. Okay, almost never.

This week, a woman kissed a Cy Twombly painting in his current show in Avignon, France. She's going to court next month for having smeared lipstick on the white canvas. Huh? A smear on a Cy Twombly painting? Didn't anyone notice that there are smears all over Twombly's work? Look at the example included here. That's Cy's thing, smears.

We certainly hope Twombly comes out in support of his French lover during the trial.
