Artist: Odilon Redon (French, 1840-1916)
Medium: pastel on blue paper
Dimensions: 62 x 47.7 cm
Description
With the vivid tints of his pastel sticks, Redon imbued this Fleurs with an ecstatic lyricism that transcends mere representation, achieving a realm uniquely his own—unprecedented within the tradition of the genre. He presents exquisite hybrids of imagination, what Klaus Berger called “choice flowers of fantasy no gardener ever saw.” Redon’s blossoms, evoking only the merest suggestion of substance, burst open as dazzling figments in the mind’s eye, manifest as flashes of pure color where organic life-force transmutes into light.
