奧菲莉亞
1906
Odilon Redon takes the tragic Shakespearean character Ophelia and turns her final moments into a vibrant, hallucinatory dream. Instead of a realistic river scene, a dark, silhouette-like form is engulfed by a chaotic explosion of pastel colors—fluffy clouds, blue patches, and strange, eye-like flowers that seem to watch the viewer. Created around 1906 during his later 'colorful period,' this piece uses soft pastels to blur the line between reality and the subconscious. It's a perfect example of Symbolism, where the feeling of a dream matters far more than what things actually look like.
