White Vase with Flowers 1916

"White Vase with Flowers" is a pastel on paper artwork created in 1916, the year of artist Odilon Redon's death. The work is currently housed in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, France, and showcases Redon's characteristic dreamlike imagery. It depicts a white vase filled with an array of vibrantly colored flowers, rendered with soft and delicate strokes, highlighting Redon's symbolic approach to floral still life. The blurred background and the almost surreal quality of the bouquet contribute to the overall ethereal atmosphere. The work is representative of Redon's late period, a time when he embraced color and form in a more expressive and symbolic manner.
