EDITORS COMMENTS
or "Auricular Cell," is a captivating lithograph created by the renowned French artist Odilon Redon in 1894. This black and white, antique print showcases Redon's exceptional talent for creating fantastical, mystical scenes that defy the boundaries of reality. The image depicts an intricately detailed profile of a human ear, transformed into an otherworldly landscape. The labyrinthine structure of the ear is rendered in exquisite detail, with the folds and contours of the cartilage and skin meticulously captured through Redon's masterful use of lithographic techniques. The title "Cellule Auriculaire" suggests a scientific or anatomical exploration of the ear, yet the work transcends mere representation. Instead, Redon invites the viewer to imagine the ear as a complex, living organism teeming with hidden depths and secrets. The grey tones and contrasting textures add to the print's enigmatic allure, as the ear seems to morph and shift before the eyes, revealing new details with each glance. This historic work is a testament to the power of the imagination and the enduring influence of Symbolism in art. Originally exhibited in Paris in the late 19th century, "Cellule Auriculaire" is now a cherished part of the heritage art collection at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. Redon's masterful lithograph continues to inspire and intrigue art enthusiasts and collectors around the world, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural history of France and the boundless potential of the human imagination.
