“Quattro Stagioni II. Autunno,” created by Cy Twombly between 1993 and 1995, is an abstract artwork belonging to the Neo-Expressionism movement. This piece is part of the “Quattro Stagioni II, 1993-1995” series and is currently housed in Tate Britain, London, UK.
The artwork embodies an abstract aesthetic with vibrant colors and dynamic forms that appear spontaneously arranged. Dominated by bold reds, greens, and yellows, splatters and drips of paint form an evocative, almost organic compilation that hints at the essence of autumn. The inscription “AUTUNNO” is prominently visible, lending a textual element to the visual dynamism. The painting has an expressive, unstructured quality with scribbles and smears that suggest a rawness and immediacy, both characteristic of Neo-Expressionism. The overall composition evokes an emotional, visceral response, capturing the mercurial and fleeting nature of the autumn season.
