Odilon Redon
1903
Imagine two giants of the Symbolist movement hanging out in 1903—that's essentially what this portrait captures. Maurice Denis sketched his friend and fellow artist Odilon Redon in profile, highlighting that magnificent beard and intense gaze. Denis was part of the Nabi group, known for their decorative style, but here he keeps it simple and raw. You can even see the date '1903' scribbled in the corner, like a timestamp on a friendship between two artistic legends.
