保罗·塞鲁西耶 by Odilon Redon, 1903

Odilon Redon, the Symbolist wizard famous for his floating eyes and dreamlike nightmares, takes a break from the supernatural to sketch his friend Paul Sérusier in 1903. This profile portrait is incredibly gentle, using soft, sweeping strokes to capture Sérusier’s long hair and beard as he gazes thoughtfully into the distance. It’s a rare glimpse of Redon’s realistic side, showing that behind the mysterious monsters, he was a master of human observation too. The faint '1903' in the corner marks a moment when these two artistic pioneers were reshaping how we see the world.
