Quattro Stagioni II. Inverno — Fine Art

Quattro Stagioni II. Inverno by Cy Twombly draws on the four seasons cycle, a theme the artist returned to in later work. The sheet holds broad pale strokes and a few darker lines that recall a cold season. The marks sit on a ground that stays mostly open.

The fine art frame comes in white, wood, dark wood or black. A white frame keeps the soft ground uncluttered, while a black frame gives the edge a firm line against the pale marks.

It suits a hallway wall where the light changes through the day. From the far end you read the wide strokes first, and on the step closer the small pencil lines come into view.
