Video introduction by curator Nicholas Cullinan

From the press release

A unique exploration of contemporary artist Cy Twombly (1928–2011) and 17th century classical painter Nicolas Poussin (1594–1665).

Separated by three centuries the two artists nonetheless share remarkable similarities. The connections are highlighted through the key themes of Arcadia and the pastoral, Venus and Eros, anxiety and theatricality and mythological figures that are central to both artists' work.

The exhibition will be accompanied by the British premiere of Tacita Dean's new 16mm film portrait of Cy Twombly, Edwin Parker (2011).
