1890

감은 눈 by Odilon Redon, 1890

Odilon Redon invites us into a world where seeing isn't about looking with your eyes. In this haunting 1890 portrait, a woman's head floats above a shimmering, misty surface, her eyes peacefully shut to the physical world. This piece is a prime example of Symbolism, a movement that turned inward to explore dreams and the subconscious rather than realistic depiction. Redon, who started his career creating creepy charcoal nightmares, eventually embraced color and light to capture these quiet, mystical moments. The glowing light at the bottom feels like a portal to another realm, suggesting that true vision happens when we close our eyes.
