An abstract expressionist mixed media acrylic painting on paper signed Cy Twombly on the bottom left. This mixed media showcases the artist's iconic freely, scribbled, calligraphic and graffiti-like style. Presumed to be a small study for larger scale paintings. An opportunity for post-war art collectors. From a private collection. Dimensions: 15.25h x 12w (framed). In very good vintage condition. Cy Twombly (1928-2011) was a renowned abstract expressionist artist and become a prominent figure in the mid-1950s. His subject matter may seem simplified, but his line and colors were infused with energy, spirituality, and meaning. Twombly was in the same group of artists, such as Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns, yet he followed a more simplified form of abstraction compared to his contemporaries. He has had several museum exhibitions including an important at the Whitney Museum of American Art in 1979, curated by David Whitney, Musee National d'Art Moderne, Tate Modern, and MoMA. In recent years, Twombly has fetched auction records up to $69 million.
