Nude, Begonia and Heads 1912

Odilon Redon’s 1912 painting *Nude, Begonia and Heads* is a striking example of his distinctive style. Redon, a French symbolist painter, frequently used dream-like imagery and rich colors to evoke emotions. This work showcases the artist's signature use of dark outlines and soft washes, giving the figures an ethereal quality, against a backdrop of blooming flowers and a face emerging from foliage. The nude figure's position, the oversized flower, and the prominent faces all contribute to the work's enigmatic and mystical feel, reflecting the artist's interest in exploring the depths of human consciousness.
