EDITORS COMMENTS
(Profile of Light), created by the renowned French artist Odilon Redon in 1886, is a captivating lithograph that invites the viewer to explore the depths of their imagination. This antique artwork, now a cherished piece of heritage art, depicts a veiled woman in black and white, her profile illuminated by a radiant, ethereal light. The monochromatic palette of this lithograph, with its striking contrasts of black and white, adds to the mystical and fantastical atmosphere. Redon's masterful use of light and shadow creates a sense of drama and intrigue, drawing the viewer in to ponder the meaning behind the veiled figure. The woman's apparel, consisting of a flowing dress and a headdress, is reminiscent of the fashion of the late 19th century. Her head is adorned with a veil, adding an air of mystery and allure. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricate patterns and textures of the fabric, as well as the delicate folds and creases. This work is a testament to the symbolist movement in art, which emphasized the importance of the artist's imagination and the emotional response of the viewer. Profil de Lumiere can be found in many prestigious art galleries and museums around the world, including the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. It continues to captivate and inspire audiences, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of France and the artistic innovations of the 19th century.
