{"product_id":"light-odilon-redon","title":"Light - Odilon Redon","description":"\u003cp\u003eA haunting lithograph by Symbolist artist Odilon Redon, featuring a colossal, ethereal head looming over two small figures in a dark, architectural space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis lithograph by Odilon Redon, titled Light (Lumière), belongs to the artist's series of 'noirs', a collection of works executed primarily in charcoal and lithographic crayon. Redon, a central figure in the Symbolist movement, often explored the boundaries between the conscious mind and the dream state. His work rejects the objective observation of the natural world in favour of internal visions and psychological states.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition presents a stark contrast between the monumental and the diminutive. A colossal, ethereal head occupies the upper portion of the frame, framed by an architectural arch. The figure appears lost in contemplation, its features rendered with soft, smudged strokes that suggest a ghostly or celestial presence. Below this giant form, two small, dark figures stand in a shadowed interior, looking upward toward the light emanating from the head above. The scale disparity creates a sense of mystery, suggesting a narrative rooted in myth or spiritual revelation rather than physical reality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRedon utilised the unique properties of lithography to achieve a wide range of tonal values. The deep, velvety blacks of the foreground figures and the surrounding architecture provide a heavy anchor for the composition, while the lighter, hatched areas around the giant head create a luminous, atmospheric effect. The artist's technique relies on the layering of marks to build texture and depth, allowing the paper to show through in places to represent the source of light. This print demonstrates Redon's ability to manipulate shadow and form to evoke a sense of the uncanny. It invites the viewer to consider the relationship between the mundane world and the unseen forces that shape human experience, characteristic of his broader body of work during the late nineteenth century.\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=\"\/nl\/products\/at-the-end-of-the-road-heinrich-hoerle\" 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;\"\u003eAt the End of the Road by Heinrich Hoerle\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/products\/the-ship-of-fools-in-flames-hieronymus-bosch\" 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;\"\u003eThe Ship of Fools in Flames by Hieronymus Bosch\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/collections\/odilon-redon\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#2a555a;border:1px solid #2a555a;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#ffffff;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eMore by Odilon Redon →\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":59475065536847,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59475102105935,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59475102138703,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59475102171471,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59475102204239,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59475102237007,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59475102269775,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59475102302543,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59475102335311,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59475102368079,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59475102400847,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59475102433615,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Light_Poster_CompositorV1_1794408312616.jpg?v=1794445678","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/nl\/products\/light-odilon-redon","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
