Odilon Redon's 1888 lithograph "Il hausse le vase d'airain" is a striking example of his signature "black and white" style. The artwork depicts three figures in a darkened space, with one figure holding a vase that is illuminated by a brilliant light. The figures appear ethereal and mysterious, contributing to the haunting and dreamlike atmosphere that Redon is known for. Redon's use of chiaroscuro creates a dramatic contrast between light and shadow, adding to the artwork's expressive quality. This piece is part of a series of lithographs that Redon produced in the late 19th century, exploring themes of the sublime and the supernatural.
