Cy Twombly

Natural History Part II: Some Trees of Italy

A suite of delicate, lyrical prints by Cy Twombly, *Natural History Part II: Some Trees of Italy* showcases the artist's signature fusion of gestural mark-making, botanical imagery, and poetic text. Each work evokes the organic forms of Italian trees through loose, expressive lines and washes of color, blending scientific observation with a deeply personal, almost mythological sensibility. Published by Propyläen Verlag, Berlin, and each signed and numbered 14/98 in pencil, these rare prints reflect Twombly's enduring romance with the Italian landscape and classical tradition.

Medium
All signed and numbered 14/98 in pencil (there were also 17 artist's proofs), published by Propyläen Verlag, Berlin, all framed.
