“The Rose (IV)” is an artwork by Cy Twombly, created in 2008 as part of the Abstract Expressionism movement. It is a flower painting measuring 252 x 740 cm and belongs to the series titled “The Rose Series, 2008”. The artwork prominently features three large, abstracted rose forms rendered in vibrant, swirling hues of red, purple, and yellow against a light background. The roses are dynamic and appear to have a dripping effect, signifying the painterly, emotive brushstrokes characteristic of Twombly’s style. Additionally, illegible text is inscribed on the right section of the piece, adding an element of mystery and depth to the composition.
