{"product_id":"le-noye-odilon-redon","title":"Le Noyé - Odilon Redon","description":"\u003cp\u003eA haunting 1882 lithograph by Odilon Redon, featuring a solitary face emerging from dark waters beneath a celestial orb.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLe Noyé, or The Drowned Man, is a lithograph produced by Odilon Redon in 1882. It belongs to a period in the artist's career when he focused almost exclusively on black and white media, which he termed his noirs. These works explore the boundaries between the conscious mind and the dream state, often utilising ambiguous forms and stark contrasts to evoke a sense of unease or mystery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition is dominated by a large, dark, sun-like orb suspended in the upper portion of the frame. Its rays radiate downwards, casting a heavy, atmospheric gloom over the scene. Below, a vast, indistinct expanse of water occupies the lower half of the image. A single, pale face emerges from the surface, representing the drowned figure. The contrast between the intense blackness of the sky and the subtle, ghostly rendering of the face creates a tension that is characteristic of Redon's graphic output during the 1880s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRedon's technique in this lithograph relies on the manipulation of charcoal-like textures and varying degrees of ink density. By scraping and layering the stone, he achieved a range of grey tones that suggest depth and ethereal light. The work does not rely on clear narrative or anatomical precision. Instead, it functions through suggestion and mood. The viewer is invited to contemplate the silence of the scene and the isolation of the subject. This print demonstrates the artist's ability to transform simple materials into complex psychological studies, moving away from the objective observation favoured by his contemporaries in the Impressionist movement. It remains a representative example of the Symbolist interest in the internal world of the imagination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/de\/products\/attraction-i-edvard-munch-1\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eAttraction I - Edvard Munch — Edvard Munch\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/de\/products\/arbeider-met-brandende-fakkel-en-opgeheven-vinger-richard-nicolaus-roland-holst\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eArbeider met brandende fakkel en opgeheven vinger - Richard Nicolaüs Roland Holst — Richard Roland Holst\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Odilon Redon","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58829957857615,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58829958578511,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58829958611279,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58829958644047,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58829958676815,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Le-Noy-_Poster_CompositorV1_1789902218424.jpg?v=1789902524","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/de\/products\/le-noye-odilon-redon","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
