A Strange Juggler
1885
Odilon Redon, a master of the Symbolist movement, loved to plunge viewers into dreamlike, slightly unsettling worlds. In this eerie lithograph from his 1885 portfolio 'Hommage à Goya,' a wide-eyed figure clutches a large, dark sphere while a giant, sun-like eye looms ominously in the background. Redon called these dark, mysterious works his 'noirs,' using charcoal and lithography to explore the subconscious long before Freud made it popular. It feels like a visual nightmare where gravity and logic take a backseat to pure, strange emotion.
