Abstract

Description

Coetzee used the rose as a motif in his paintings as early as the 1940s. The image of the rose is used in his small portraits, on the tables of his still-life paintings, as well as in the background of his avant-garde artworks. His depiction of roses went through many transformations from being life-like subjects of still life paintings, to the rose being depicted as an abstract worm-like form.
