Dithyrambus by Cy Twombly is a richly layered collage that combines drawing paper, handmade paper, staples, and transparent adhesive tape with sweeping applications of oil paint, watercolour, wax crayon, and pencil. The work pulses with an ecstatic, improvisational energy befitting its title — a reference to the ancient Greek hymn sung in honor of Dionysus — as gestural marks, smears of color, and fragmented surfaces collide across the composition. Twombly's characteristic fusion of poetic inscription, raw materiality, and expressive abandon transforms the humble act of collage into a ritualistic celebration of mark-making itself.
