EDITORS COMMENTS
L'Art Celeste" (The Celestial Art), created by Odilon Redon in 1894, is a captivating lithograph that invites viewers to explore the realms of imagination and the mystical. This black and white print, a testament to the rich artistic heritage of France in the 19th century, depicts a winged figure playing a violin, surrounded by a celestial landscape. Redon's use of grey tones adds an ethereal quality to the image, enhancing the otherworldly atmosphere. The figure's profile, with its elongated neck and flowing robes, is reminiscent of religious icons, yet the violin and its strings suggest a more earthly connection. The antique quality of the print, with its subtle textures and intricate details, invites close examination and contemplation. The scene is filled with symbolic elements, from the violin, an instrument capable of producing both beautiful music and discordant sounds, to the winged figure, a symbol of transcendence and spiritual ascent. The celestial backdrop, with its swirling clouds and stars, further emphasizes the mystical and fantastical nature of the work. "L'Art Celeste" is a testament to Redon's skill as a Symbolist artist, his ability to convey complex ideas through simple yet powerful imagery. It is a work that continues to inspire and intrigue viewers, inviting them to explore the depths of their own imagination and the mysteries of the universe. This print is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, particularly the Symbolist movement, and for those who appreciate the beauty and power of the imagination. It can be found in many prestigious art galleries and museums around the world, including the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.
