Odilon Redon: L’enfant prédestinée, Ophélie

There is a willow grows askant the brookThat shows his hoar leaves in the glassy stream.Therewith fantastic garlands did she makeOf cornflowers, nettles, daisies, and long purples,That liberal shepherds give a grosser name,But our cold maids do “dead men fingers” call them.There on the pendant boughs her coronet weedsClamb’ring to hang, an envious sliver broke,When…

Odilon Redon: Le pavot noir (c1905)

“…Le pavot noir emerged during a key period of transition in Odilon Redon’s career, as he focused increasingly on floral still-lifes in his work, using their luscious blooms to explore the power of color. Echoing the natural arrangement of wild blossoms in a meadow, the bouquets favored by the artist embodied the essential beauty of…

Jun Luke Foster: Sonata in A minor K310 (Mozart)

“The present pastel is Redon’s beautiful rendering of the Cain and Abel story. Christian imagery rarely appeared in his early work. However, during the 1890s Redon responded to the Catholic revival that emerged in France during the previous decade and remained a powerful force in the nation’s cultural life until the First World War…Biblical imagery…

Anto Carte: L’Enfant Roi (1919)

“Belgian artist Antoine (Anto) Carte’s works are unique in that they include characteristics of symbolism, naturalism, and expressionism. His subjects are inspired by the lives of laborers such as miners, farmers, and fishermen.The son of a furniture maker and carpenter, he attended the Academy of Mons and Brussels from 1897 to 1908, where he studied…

Odilon Redon: Christ et ses disciples (c1905)

“The present work draws on the theme of discipleship and the divine nature of Christ rather than a specific episode of the New Testament. Though he was not an orthodox Christian, Redon mixed in Catholic circles and was clearly attracted to the figure of Christ who features frequently at this time.” READ FULL ESSAY: Sotheby’s…

Odilon Redon: Le crucifix

“Redon’s interpretations of the life and sacrifice of Christ contain elements of his liberal social outlook and generally underplay the traditional devotional aspect of such imagery. The present work is especially beautiful for its spiritual treatment of abstract elements in the composition. Interlocking vertical and horizontal forms frame the scene, and Christ is viewed half-length,…

Odilon Redon: Simone Fayet en communiante (1908)

“…Simone Fayet, Gustave Fayet’s daughter, is represented taking her first communion in front of a backdrop of stained glass. Like the portrait which Redon had painted of her two years earlier, Simone Fayet avec sa poupe, the young girl’s expression is serious and thoughtful…The composition of the work is unusual. Simone, seen in profile, occupies…

Odilon Redon: Profil sous une arche

“Associated with the Symbolist movement, the art of Odilon Redon demonstrates a superb mastery of the pastel technique which draws it source from French 18th century art. The Impressionist painters such as Manet or Degas revived this medium, but Redon then developed a particular style which evoked a world inhabited by a deep sense of…

Odilon Redon: Vision sous-marine (c1904)

“In 1904 Redon began a small, innovative series of oils and pastels known as the “Wonders of the Sea,” having found his inspiration for these visions in Gustave Flaubert’s La Tentation de Saint-Antoine (1874), which itself was inspired by the fantastic paintings of Pieter Brueghel the Elder…Redon had previously produced lithographs based on the story…
