About Returning from Tonnicoda

“Returning from Tonnicoda,” created in 1973 by the artist Cy Twombly, exemplifies the Neo-Expressionism art movement and belongs to the genre of abstract art. The artwork is characterized by vigorous and dynamic scribbles that convey an energetic and chaotic quality, predominantly in shades of green. The intertwined, looping lines dominate the space, with the density of the strokes creating a sense of depth and movement. The seemingly haphazard application of marks brings forth an emotional intensity, hallmarking Twombly’s signature style. This piece captures the essence of abstract expression, invoking a visceral response through its raw and unrestrained brushwork.
