The Lyrical Abstraction of Cy Twombly’s Anabasis

Step into the poetic and gestural world of Cy Twombly with this exclusive pack of 10 postcards featuring Anabasis. Named after Xenophon’s historical account of an arduous military expedition, Twombly’s 1983 masterpiece translates the intensity of ancient history into raw, rhythmic calligraphic marks. These are not merely stationery; they are miniature museum-quality reproductions that capture the energetic scribbles and sophisticated palette of a modern master.

At RedKalion, we honor the legacy of the Abstract Expressionist movement by providing art enthusiasts with archival-grade prints. Each postcard is produced using advanced 12-color fine art printing technology, which delivers a chromatic range and depth far beyond standard commercial prints. This ensures that every subtle graphite line and paint drip is rendered with exacting precision.

What is the significance of the title Anabasis in Cy Twombly’s work?

Anabasis refers to Xenophon’s account of an expedition into the Persian Empire. In Twombly’s work, it represents a 'march upcountry'—a metaphor for the creative struggle and the layering of historical consciousness through gestural mark-making.

What makes the 12-color printing technology superior?

Our 12-color fine art printing technology uses a wider gamut of inks compared to standard 4-color inkjet printers. This results in more accurate color transitions, deeper blacks, and a closer resemblance to the original artwork.

Is the paper used for these postcards archival and sustainable?

Yes. We use 200 gsm FSC-certified paper, which ensures that the materials are sourced responsibly. The archival quality of the paper and inks prevents yellowing and fading over time.

Can these postcards be framed as miniature art prints?

Absolutely. With their smooth matte finish and 0.26 mm thickness, these A6 postcards are designed to be durable enough for display. They offer an affordable way to own a collection of Cy Twombly masterpieces.

What are the shipping logistics for RedKalion art prints?

Every order is printed on demand to ensure the highest quality control and reduce waste. We package our postcards securely to ensure they arrive at your door in pristine, museum-quality condition without folds or creases.

Does the matte finish affect the vibrancy of the colors?

Not at all. While the matte finish removes distracting glare, our 12-color process ensures the pigments remain vivid and true to Twombly’s original intent, providing a clean and sophisticated visual experience.

What are the exact dimensions of these Cy Twombly postcards?

Each postcard in this pack of 10 is A6 size, measuring exactly 10.5 x 14.8 cm (4.1 x 5.8 inches). This is a standard size for international mailing and fits most compact frames.
