Odilon Redon

Odilon Redon was a French artist associated with the Symbolist movement, which emerged in the late 19th century. He is known for his dreamlike paintings and pastels that evoke mystery and emotion. Rather than depicting reality, Redon's work explores the inner world of imagination, dreams, and the subconscious. His subjects often include fantastical creatures and symbols that invite personal interpretation. By using color and form to convey feelings and ideas, Redon's art reflects the Symbolist belief in expressing deeper truths beyond the surface of everyday life. His work has influenced modern art and continues to resonate today.
