EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print of "Pegasus Captive, 1889" by Odilon Redon transports viewers into the realm of Greek mythology and the intricate world of art. This monochrome lithograph, also known as "Captive Pegasus" beautifully captures the essence of passion and intellect through its portrayal of a winged horse held captive by Bellerophon disguised as a poet. Redon's artwork serves as a metaphor for the dual nature of creativity, highlighting how our artistic pursuits can both liberate and confine us. The majestic Pegasus symbolizes untamed passion and boundless imagination, while Bellerophon represents intellectual control and restraint. Together, they embody the delicate balance between these two aspects within ourselves. This piece is an exquisite example from "The Etchings of the French Impressionists and Their Contemporaries" curated by Edward T. Chase in 1946. It showcases Redon's mastery in capturing emotions through his unique impressionist style. As we gaze upon this timeless image, we are transported to a different era - France in the late 19th century - where mythological creatures roamed freely alongside great artists who sought to capture their essence on canvas or paper. The black-and-white composition adds depth to this mythical encounter while allowing us to focus solely on its symbolic power. "Pegasus Captive" invites us to reflect on our own creative journeys, reminding us that true artistry lies not only in unleashing our passions but also harnessing them with intellect and purpose
