Description
Untitled II (1967) exemplifies Cy Twombly’s lyrical abstraction, where gesture, memory, and mark-making merge into a delicate visual language. Through the aquatint technique, Twombly achieves an ethereal interplay between line and surface — a controlled spontaneity that evokes both writing and drawing, thought and emotion. Executed on J. Green paper and published by Universal Limited Art Editions, this rare print translates Twombly’s expressive hand into a graphic medium without losing the immediacy of his painterly gestures. The muted tonal range and gestural intensity embody his ongoing fascination with classical themes, personal mythology, and the poetics of the written trace.
Each impression in the limited edition of 23 carries subtle variations that underscore Twombly’s interest in repetition and difference — qualities that define his oeuvre across media. Untitled II thus stands as a serene yet powerful meditation on rhythm, texture, and the passage of time.
