Mary Jacobus: Achilles’ Horses, Twombly’s War: Monuments, Mourning, and Mars's image
Description: The theme of war in paintings like Twombly's Fifty Days at Iliam reveals how martial art becomes polemical in making the destructiveness of the past visible to contemporary viewers.

Professor Simon Goldhill responds, comparing Twombly's classicism with that of another modern artist, Andy Warhol.
