EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black and white lithograph titled "He fixed his eyes on me with an expression that was so strange, 1896". Odilon Redon transports us to the enchanting world of symbolism in 19th century France. The artist's mastery is evident as he skillfully captures a moment frozen in time. The central focus of the print is a dog, its piercing gaze locked onto the viewer. Its eyes hold an enigmatic expression, evoking curiosity and intrigue. Redon's use of contrasting shades creates a striking visual impact, emphasizing the intensity of the dog's stare against a stark background. This artwork not only showcases Redon's technical prowess but also exemplifies his ability to convey emotions through art. The dog becomes more than just an animal; it symbolizes something deeper - perhaps loyalty or mystery - inviting viewers to ponder its significance within their own lives. Displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this piece stands as a testament to Redon's contribution to French heritage art and symbolist movement during the late 19th century. It serves as a reminder that art has no boundaries when it comes to exploring human emotions and connecting with audiences across time and space. "He fixed his eyes on me with an expression that was so strange" invites us into Redon's world where animals transcend their physical forms, becoming vessels for profound contemplation.
