Gnome 1879

"Gnome" is a lithograph by Odilon Redon created in 1879. The print depicts a fantastical creature with a dark, fuzzy, circular body and a human-like face. It has large, wing-like appendages and hovers over a landscape of water and light. Redon was a prominent Symbolist artist who explored themes of dreams, imagination, and the subconscious mind. His use of dark tones and evocative imagery contributes to the unsettling and dreamlike quality of this work, and his exploration of fantasy and the human imagination.
