{"product_id":"geraniums-odilon-redon","title":"Geraniums - Odilon Redon","description":"\u003cp\u003eA delicate floral study by French Symbolist Odilon Redon, capturing the luminous quality of geraniums in pastel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOdilon Redon, a figure associated with the Symbolist movement, shifted his focus in his later years from the dark, monochromatic lithographs of his 'noirs' period to a luminous exploration of colour. This study of geraniums demonstrates his mastery of pastel, a medium that allowed him to achieve a soft, atmospheric quality that defines his late floral works. The composition is straightforward, presenting a potted plant against a neutral, textured background that draws the eye directly to the subject.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRedon does not attempt a rigid botanical record. Instead, he captures the essence of the plant through light and texture. The red petals of the geraniums are rendered with a sense of immediacy, using varied strokes to suggest the delicate structure of the flowers. The foliage, painted in shades of green, provides a grounding contrast to the brightness of the blossoms. The terracotta pot is depicted with a tactile quality, its surface suggesting the porous nature of the clay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThroughout his career, Redon maintained an interest in the subjective experience of the natural world. In these later floral pieces, he moves away from the dreamlike, often unsettling imagery of his earlier work, opting for a more direct engagement with the beauty of simple subjects. The light in this piece appears to emanate from within the paper itself, a characteristic effect of his pastel technique. By isolating the plant from any specific setting, Redon invites the viewer to consider the form and colour of the geraniums as an independent visual experience. This print captures the subtle nuances of his original pastel application, preserving the soft edges and the interplay of light across the petals and leaves.\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=\"\/products\/fir-trees-arnold-bocklin\" 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;\"\u003eFir Trees - Arnold Böcklin — Arnold Böcklin\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/homem-do-mar-leca-antonio-carneiro\" 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;\"\u003eHomem do Mar (Leça) - António Carneiro — António Carneiro\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":58853067555151,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58853487083855,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58853487116623,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58853487149391,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58853487182159,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Geraniums_Poster_CompositorV1_1790104288522.jpg?v=1790104620","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/geraniums-odilon-redon","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
