Spring 1883

"Spring" (1883) by Odilon Redon is a captivating black and white lithograph that features a haunting portrait of a woman partially obscured by foliage. Redon, a leading figure in the Symbolist movement, masterfully uses line and shading to create a sense of mystery and depth, highlighting the enigmatic beauty of the female form. The ethereal presence of the woman amidst the dense foliage suggests a connection to nature and the cyclical renewal of life, making "Spring" a poignant exploration of symbolic themes that captivated the artistic imagination of late 19th century France.
