Tiznit 1953

"Tiznit" is an abstract painting by American artist Cy Twombly, created in 1953. This work is characteristic of Twombly's early style, which was heavily influenced by Abstract Expressionism. "Tiznit" features a bold and gestural style with heavy, black lines and scribbles that are reminiscent of ancient symbols or cave paintings. The lines are applied with a sense of urgency and energy, creating a powerful and dynamic composition. The sparse use of color, with only black lines against a white ground, emphasizes the gestural quality of the work.
