Ferragosto VFramed Poster

Ferragosto V comes from a series Cy Twombly made around the Italian summer holiday. The surface is marked with loose, scratchy lines and smudged patches of colour. Some strokes look fast and light, others press harder into the ground.

A framed poster suits this kind of mark. Place it on a hallway wall where the light falls from the side, and the scratches and soft patches shift as you pass.

The frame can follow the room: pale wood against a deep green wall, or dark wood near an old dresser. From the kitchen door, the lines read as a tangle of movement, like writing seen from an angle.
