EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, titled "Violette Heymann, 1910" we are transported to the artistic world of Odilon Redon, a renowned French artist from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. During the final years of his life, Redon's studio was abuzz with requests for pastel portraits featuring women adorned with flowers. Here, we witness Violette Heymann, Marcel Kapferer's adolescent niece and subject of this exquisite piece. She stands before us like a delicate butterfly emerging from its cocoon. Enveloped in a cloudlike bouquet of azure, purple, and white blossoms that seem to float around her ethereal presence. Redon masterfully captures the essence of these iridescent petals with such precision that they appear almost tangible. The velvety texture he imbues them with evokes memories of delicate butterfly wings fluttering in mid-air. As our gaze lingers on Violette's portrait, we cannot help but be captivated by her youthful innocence juxtaposed against the vibrant floral tapestry surrounding her. This harmonious blend creates an enchanting visual symphony that speaks volumes about Redon's skill as an artist. This remarkable photograph is not just a testament to Redon's talent but also serves as a window into early 20th-century France and its rich artistic heritage.
