Flores em um vaso
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.
