EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black and white lithograph titled "And over there, the Astral Idol, the Apotheosis" created by French artist Odilon Redon in 1891, we are transported to a mystical realm where symbolism reigns supreme. Redon's masterful use of contrasting tones brings forth a sense of otherworldliness that is both haunting and beautiful. The central figure of the Astral Idol commands our attention with its enigmatic presence. Bathed in ethereal light, it exudes an aura of divinity and transcendence. Its elongated form seems to defy earthly limitations as it reaches towards the heavens, symbolizing an apotheosis or elevation to godlike status. Redon's work is deeply rooted in Symbolism, a movement that sought to convey emotions and ideas through symbolic imagery rather than direct representation. Here, he invites us into his imaginative world where dreams merge with reality and spirituality intertwines with human existence. This remarkable piece is housed within the prestigious Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City—a fitting location for such a profound exploration of artistry from the 19th century. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded not only of Redon's immense talent but also of the enduring power that art holds to transport us beyond our everyday experiences into realms unknown.
