Untitled (Peonias series) 2007

Cy Twombly's "Untitled (Peonias series)" from 2007 is a striking abstract painting characterized by vibrant red and yellow hues. The artist's signature gestural style is evident in the loose, flowing brushstrokes that create a sense of energy and movement. Twombly's works are often associated with the Abstract Expressionist movement, but they also draw inspiration from classical mythology and literature. The bold, circular forms in this painting could be interpreted as floral motifs, referencing the series' title. This work exemplifies Twombly's ability to capture the essence of his subjects through simplified, yet evocative imagery.
