A favorite Portland indoor hike is the through-the-tunnel and up-the-stairs trek to the Miller-Miegs space on the 4th floor of the Jubitz Center for Modern and Contemporary Art at the Portland Art Museum (note: name almost as long as trek). Starting today in that space, find three recent works by influential gestural abstractionist Cy Twombly, two paintings and a bronze sculpture.
One of the works, "Untitled," is from his "A Scattering of Blossoms and Other Things" series, a "peony" painting.

The octogenarian artist has had two recent retrospectives at Tate Modern, London, and the Art Institute of Chicago.
On Wednesday, February 10 at 12:30 PM Chief Curator Bruce Guenther hosts a Midday Art Break viewing and talking about Twombly’s work. Free with admission or membership.
Through May 16.
