Vase of Flowers, c. 1905. Creator: Odilon Redon (French, 1840-1916)
Vase of Flowers, c. 1905. Known for his dark, velvety charcoal drawings and lithographs, Redon began working predominantly in oil and pastel after 1900, thus enlisting colour in his explorations of the world of dreams and the imagination. Like other Symbolists, Redon searched for alternative experiences beyond the rational logic of Naturalism and Impressionism. He used his knowledge of botany as a starting point for this painting, but infused the flowers with heightened luminosity and sensuous form

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Odilon Redon's masterpiece, "Vase of Flowers" created around 1905. Renowned for his exquisite charcoal drawings and lithographs, Redon shifted his focus to oil and pastel mediums after 1900, allowing color to enhance his exploration of the realm of dreams and imagination. As a Symbolist artist, he sought unconventional experiences that transcended the rationality found in Naturalism and Impressionism. Drawing inspiration from his extensive knowledge of botany, Redon employed flowers as the foundation for this painting. However, he transformed them into ethereal beings by infusing them with heightened luminosity and sensuous forms. The result is a mesmerizing display that transports viewers into an otherworldly realm where reality intertwines with fantasy. Odilon Redon's artistic genius shines through in this piece as he skillfully captures the delicate beauty of nature while simultaneously evoking emotions beyond what meets the eye. With every stroke on fabric using oil paints, Redon breathes life into each petal and stem. Displayed at The Cleveland Museum of Art, this print serves as a testament to Odilon Redon's profound impact on late 19th-early 20th-century art movements. Its presence invites us to delve deeper into our own imaginations and explore new dimensions within ourselves—a true treasure from France's heritage art scene.
