EDITORS COMMENTS
In this lithograph titled "The Eye, Like a Strange Balloon, Mounts toward Infinity" artist Odilon Redon takes us on a journey into the depths of Edgar Allan Poe's imagination. Created in 1882 as part of his series dedicated to the renowned writer, Redon masterfully combines elements of mythology, symbolism, and allegory to create a visual representation of Poe's enigmatic world. At the center of the composition is an eye, its pupil dilated and fixed upon an unseen horizon. The eye appears detached from any human form or context, floating freely like a strange balloon ascending towards infinity. This surreal image evokes both curiosity and unease as we contemplate what lies beyond our limited perception. Redon's use of graphic arts brings forth an otherworldly quality to the piece. His meticulous attention to detail allows for intricate textures and shading that enhance the ethereal atmosphere surrounding the eye. Through his skilled craftsmanship, he invites viewers to delve deeper into their own imaginations and explore realms beyond conventional reality. "The Eye" serves as a testament not only to Redon's artistic prowess but also his deep appreciation for literature and poetry. By paying homage to Edgar Allan Poe through this striking print, he bridges two art forms - visual and literary - creating a harmonious fusion that captures both artists' shared fascination with mystery and introspection. This particular artwork resides in a private collection where it continues to inspire contemplation about life's mysteries while serving as a reminder of Redon's
