  • Art Nouveau

  • Dadaism

  • Abstract Expressionism

  • Pop Art

Answer

Abstract Expressionism, the movement most often associated with Cy Twombly's works, emerged in the mid-20th century as a reaction against the rigid conventions of traditional art. Characterized by bold, spontaneous brushstrokes, intense colors, and abstract forms, this movement allowed artists to convey raw emotions and subjective experiences rather than depicting realistic representations of the world.
