Coronation of Sesostris 2000

"Coronation of Sesostris" (2000) is a work by American artist Cy Twombly (1928-2011). Twombly's abstract style utilizes gestural brushstrokes and a limited palette of yellow, white, and pink, creating a dynamic composition that feels both spontaneous and deliberate. The painting features a central cluster of forms, reminiscent of foliage or a crown, against a predominantly white background. The drips and streaks of paint evoke a sense of movement and energy, characteristic of Twombly's work.
