Lepanto, Part XI — Fine Art

Lepanto, Part XI shows a row of long marks laid down on a pale surface. The lines run across the sheet with a pressed hand and a fast touch. Some marks sit heavier than others. Cy Twombly lets the hand move and stop as it goes.

The picture sits inside a frame with a clear edge. A white finish keeps the line work open and does not change the look of the marks. The frame gives Lepanto, Part XI a clean border on the wall. This is a fine art print.

Above a desk the marks read from a short distance. The darker lines stand out when you lean in. The lighter ones stay soft in the same light. You see the hand movement more than the subject.
