花瓶の花
c. 1910
Odilon Redon traded his famously dark, spooky charcoal drawings for this explosion of color late in his career, surprising everyone who knew his early 'noirs.' Bursting from a rustic, earthy vase, a wild mix of daisies, red poppies, and blue cornflowers seems to dance against a soft, textured background. Redon believed that flowers were like 'smiling faces,' and you can really feel that joy in the loose, vibrant brushstrokes. It's a beautiful reminder that even Symbolist artists known for their dreams and nightmares can find pure delight in a simple bouquet.
