Cul-de-Lampe
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an enchanting lithograph created by the renowned French Symbolist artist Odilon Redon in 1890. This monochromatic artwork, now held in the prestigious collections of the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., invites viewers to explore the depths of their imagination. Redon's masterful use of black and white, or baudelaire grey as he called it, creates a mystical and otherworldly atmosphere. The central image is a fantastical depiction of a flower, reminiscent of the "Fleurs du Mal" or "Flowers of Evil," a collection of poetry by Charles Baudelaire that greatly influenced Redon's work. The flower's petals are delicately rendered, their edges barely discernible against the dark background. Surrounding the central bloom are various body forms, some human, others more amorphous, their faces obscured by the shadows. These figures seem to merge with the natural world, their forms intertwined with the plants and flowers. The scene is imbued with a sense of the uncanny, as if the line between the natural and supernatural has blurred. Redon's "Cul-de-Lampe" is a testament to the power of the imagination and the enduring allure of the natural world. It invites us to look beyond the surface and delve deeper into the mysteries of existence. This lithograph is not only a beautiful work of art but also a cultural and historical artifact, a window into the world of late 19th-century French art and literature.
