Cy Twombly - SUMMER MADNESS

The focus of the painting is the origin of this release of colour pressure, where it mixes into an earthy brown. The entire composition could easily pass for a flower composition, but under the context of the title, it may shape into something else. The idea that the piece represents an actual emotional or psychological explosion may suggest how volatile can be our perception of reality, like in the same way a mentally ill person may see reality whilst it is a delusion to others, or whether it is vice versa, whether they just see an 'alternate' reality. In fact, the painting includes a series of random pieces of information: numbers, names, which are likely to hold a drastically different meaning to 'pretty flowers'. As a result, this painting is making me immensely aware of the power of perspective, and how personal experience can drastically change the meaning of events, art, poetry and the progression of personal experience itself, and how no one is ever right.
