EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Odilon Redon's "Figure portant une tete ailee (La chute d lcare)" from 1876. The artwork, created with pastel on paper laid down on board, measures 48.2 x 44.8 cm and is currently held in a private collection. Redon, known for his symbolism and symbolist style, masterfully captures the essence of this piece through the depiction of a floating head with wings. The disembodied figure appears to be flying against the backdrop of a stunning sunset. The use of vibrant colors adds an ethereal quality to the composition. The artist's choice to portray only the head creates an intriguing sense of mystery and invites viewers to interpret its meaning. Is it a representation of freedom or transcendence? Or perhaps it signifies the human desire to break free from earthly constraints? The inclusion of wings further enhances this notion by suggesting that there is something beyond our physical existence that we strive towards. As the figure soars through the sky, bathed in warm sunlight, it becomes emblematic of our aspirations and dreams. Overall, Redon's "Figure portant une tete ailee" captivates with its mesmerizing imagery and thought-provoking symbolism. It serves as a reminder that art has the power to transport us beyond reality into realms where imagination takes flight.
