An exciting discovery...

Made the most exciting discovery when I was reading the Saturday papers. Cy Twombly.


The Rose(IV) 2008

This painting of The Rose just amazed me. The article suggests that many people do not like Twombly's work and that these new paintings will hopefully bring in new fans. Well he has succeeded. The colours, the composition and repeats but most importantly the style. I love them. They remind me of Warhols's Flower screen prints. I often just scribble what I think a flower looks like and add a hint of colour. But Twombly has got it perfect. For me anyway a great new find!

I've always loved Cy Twombly - mainly because he has an awesome name! Oh, and the art too, of course.
