The artwork, titled “III Notes From Salalah (Note I),” was created by Cy Twombly between 2005 and 2007. It belongs to the Abstract Expressionism movement and is classified within the abstract art genre.
The artwork features a background dominated by shades of deep, dark green. Indistinct and sweeping white strokes stretch across the canvas, creating a dramatic and expressive effect. The white paint drips downwards, adding a sense of movement and fluidity to the piece. This dripping technique, juxtaposed against the dark backdrop, emphasizes the spontaneity and dynamism characteristic of Abstract Expressionism. The overall composition evokes an enigmatic and emotive atmosphere, drawing the viewer into its subtleties and textures.
