Cy Twombly, Peonies, 1980

Nature is offering much-needed respite during this difficult time—from the freshly blossoming trees to the new array of seasonal flowers enticed out by the sunshine. If you’re currently unable to spend time outside, looking at floral artworks could be a nice way of lifting your spirits. We suggest perusing Cy Twombly’s many mesmerising flower Polaroids, which demonstrate the American artist’s shrewd eye for colour and form, more commonly seen in his pioneering Abstract Expressionist paintings.
