Cy Twombly ‘Untitled’ | London | June 2022

Drawing on the indiscretions of the Roman gods Mars and Venus, a narrative drama is ever-present within the uniquely gestural visual language of this 1962 work by Cy Twombly. Both turbulent and carefully balanced, the staccato graphite marks give way to bursts of crimson tones, and sits firmly within the artist’s ‘Baroque’ paintings of the period.
