Odilon Redon

1840–1916 · Post-Impressionism, Symbolism · 19 works

Redon used color to give visible form to imagined worlds. In Flower Clouds, two figures travel through a luminous sea and sky; Pandora places a mythological figure amid abundant growth. These pictures invite associations and feelings without settling into a single explanation.

In Flower Clouds, Redon turns a boat journey into an imagined world of color. Pastel brings sea and sky together around two figures. The Art Institute records this work as Post-Impressionism; its dreamlike subject also connects it with the artist’s Symbolist room.
