The artwork titled “Lepanto, Part III” was created by artist Cy Twombly in 2001. It is part of the Neo-Expressionism movement and measures 215.9 x 334 cm. The piece is an abstract genre and belongs to the “Lepanto” series.
In this artwork, Cy Twombly employs his iconic expressive style with a mix of vibrant and muted colors against a primarily light blue background. The composition features scattered, loosely-rendered shapes and lines that suggest nautical themes, possibly reminiscent of ships or seafaring elements. The use of drips and smears of red and orange bring a sense of movement and intensity to the piece, while black lines provide structure and depth. The chaotic yet deliberate arrangement of forms evokes both tension and fluidity, characteristic of Twombly’s abstract, emotionally charged approach to painting.
