In 1970, Twombly revisited his 1968 painting \u003cem\u003eTreatise on the Veil\u003c\/em\u003e and, in a short period of focused creativity, produced a painting — \u003cem\u003eTreatise on the Veil (Second Version)\u003c\/em\u003e — on a single, 33-foot canvas along with more than a dozen related drawings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis handsomely produced oversize book features three essays that examine these works in relation to Twombly’s oeuvre, contemporaneous explorations of time, the Orpheus myth, and a musical composition that Twombly cited as an influence.
