EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating monochromatic masterpiece by the renowned French Symbolist artist Odilon Redon, created between 1896 and 1900. This evocative brush and black ink drawing on buff wove paper showcases Redon's exceptional skill in conveying depth and emotion through the use of stark contrasts. The central figure of the drawing is a young man, depicted in profile, with a thoughtful and introspective expression. His gaze is fixed on an unseen horizon, as if lost in deep contemplation. The surrounding scene is sparse, with only a few abstract shapes suggesting the presence of a rural landscape. The use of black ink on buff paper creates a striking contrast, with the white spaces serving to highlight the intricacies of the drawing. Redon's "Apollonius" is a testament to the Symbolist movement's emphasis on the inner world of the mind and the exploration of the unconscious. The title of the work may be a reference to Apollonius of Tyana, a famous ancient philosopher and healer, or it could simply be a symbolic representation of the artist's own introspective musings. This rare and enigmatic work by Odilon Redon is a must-see for any art lover or scholar of the Symbolist movement. Its haunting beauty and timeless quality make it a valuable addition to any collection or exhibition, and a reminder of the enduring power of art to transport us to another world." ---
