EDITORS COMMENTS
The Devil (Le Diable) is a captivating and enigmatic brush and black ink drawing by the renowned French Symbolist artist Odilon Redon, created between 1896 and 1900. This stunning work of art showcases Redon's mastery of the monochromatic palette, as he expertly employs the contrasting shades of black and white to bring the figure of the devil to life. The Devil, also known as Lucifer or Satan, is depicted as a sinister and otherworldly figure, with elongated limbs, piercing eyes, and an enigmatic smile. His horns and tail add to the ominous presence that radiates from the drawing, while the lack of detail in his form only serves to heighten the sense of mystery and intrigue. Redon's use of brushwork in this drawing is both delicate and expressive, with the lines flowing gracefully across the laid paper. The absence of color only serves to emphasize the power of the artist's technique, as he manipulates the contrast between light and shadow to create depth and dimension. This drawing is a testament to Redon's ability to capture the complex and often contradictory nature of the human psyche, as well as the enduring fascination with the figure of the devil in art and culture. The Devil (Le Diable) is a must-see for any art enthusiast, and a valuable addition to any collection of historic prints or Symbolist art. Currently, this masterpiece can be found on display at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., where it continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world. Whether viewed as a work of art, a symbol of the human condition, or a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of France, The Devil (Le Diable) by Odilon Redon is a truly mesmerizing and timeless creation.
