"The Marsh Flower, a Sad Human Head" (1885) is a lithograph by Odilon Redon, a key figure in the Symbolist movement. This work, now housed at MoMA, is a prime example of Redon's exploration of the subconscious and the macabre. The melancholic human head, emerging from a flower in a dark and watery setting, evokes a sense of mystery and unease, making it a compelling piece for art lovers interested in symbolism and the darker side of the human experience.
