Still Life - The Dream 1904

Odilon Redon’s 1904 painting, "Still Life - The Dream," is a prime example of the artist's symbolist style. This dreamlike composition features a mysterious figure with a contemplative gaze, surrounded by abstract, swirling forms evoking flowers. Redon's masterful use of charcoal and pastel creates a sense of both depth and ethereal beauty. The shadowy, enigmatic nature of the work reflects the artist's exploration of the subconscious and the power of the imagination. This artwork is notable for its exploration of symbolism, dreamlike imagery, and the blurring of reality and fantasy.
