Untitled (Bolsena) 1969

Cy Twombly’s 1969 work, “Untitled (Bolsena)” is a classic example of his signature style, characterized by scribbled lines, numbers, and words across the canvas. The artwork evokes a sense of spontaneity and raw energy, reminiscent of a notebook filled with scribbles, thoughts, and memories. Twombly’s use of black, blue, and red crayon against the white background creates a distinct visual contrast. The work's title, “Untitled (Bolsena),” suggests that the artwork may be inspired by the Italian town of Bolsena, known for its beautiful lake. This artwork is typical of the artist's "blackboard" series.
