Created in 1885, the work belongs to a period when Redon focused almost exclusively on charcoal drawings and lithography, which he referred to as his noirs. These monochrome works allowed him to explore the boundaries between reality and the subconscious mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition features a solitary, anthropomorphic flower emerging from a dark, still body of water. The bloom itself is replaced by a melancholic human face, surrounded by a radiant, ethereal glow that contrasts sharply with the surrounding gloom. The surrounding environment is rendered in deep, velvety blacks, achieved through the precise application of lithographic ink. This technique creates a sense of atmospheric depth and mystery, typical of the Symbolist movement, which sought to represent internal states rather than external appearances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRedon was deeply influenced by the literature of his time, particularly the works of Edgar Allan Poe and Charles Baudelaire. His imagery often draws upon themes of isolation, metamorphosis, and the uncanny. In this print, the hybrid nature of the subject—part plant, part human—invites the viewer to contemplate the fragility of the psyche. The technical mastery of the lithographic medium is evident in the subtle gradations of tone, which move from the absolute darkness of the background to the delicate, luminous lines defining the face. This print is part of a larger series of works that demonstrate Redon's ability to transform mundane subjects into haunting, psychological narratives.\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\/conductor-with-violins-and-smoking-chimneys-behind-jan-toorop\" 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;\"\u003eConductor with Violins and Smoking Chimneys Behind - Jan Toorop — Jan Toorop\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/vrouw-op-een-landweg-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;\"\u003eVrouw op een landweg - 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":58759247462735,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58759255589199,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58759255621967,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58759255654735,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58759255687503,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58759255720271,"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":58759255753039,"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":58759255785807,"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":58759255818575,"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":58759255851343,"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":58759255884111,"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":58759255916879,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/La-Fleur-du-Mar-cage-une-t-te-humaine-et-triste_Poster_CompositorV1_1789232695775.jpg?v=1789233435","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/la-fleur-du-marecage-une-tete-humaine-et-triste-odilon-redon","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
