Odilon Redon's "Vase of Flowers" (1900) showcases the artist's unique approach to the still life genre. Painted in the style of Symbolism, the painting utilizes a hazy, dreamlike atmosphere, characterized by soft contours and muted colors. The composition features a vibrant bouquet of flowers, with an emphasis on the stark contrast between the red blooms and the blue vase. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation and poetic beauty, typical of Redon's artistic output.
