Description
A still life by French Symbolist artist Odilon Redon, this painting features a vase overflowing with loosely rendered daisies, poppies, cornflowers, and other blossoms in a muted palette.
Odilon Redon (1840-1916) was a French Symbolist painter, printmaker, draughtsman and pastellist. His work explores inner experience and the subconscious, filled with dreamlike imagery and personal symbolism. Redon began his artistic training in the 1860s, but his career was interrupted by military service in the Franco-Prussian War. He gained recognition in the 1880s and 1890s, becoming associated with the Symbolist movement. This painting depicts a vase filled with a variety of flowers. The composition is dominated by the arrangement of blooms, which include white daisies, red poppies, yellow blossoms, and blue cornflowers. The flowers are loosely rendered with visible brushstrokes, giving the painting a sense of immediacy. The vase itself is a dark, mottled green, providing a grounding element to the composition. The background is a neutral, warm tone, which allows the colours of the flowers to stand out. Redon's use of colour and light creates a dreamlike quality, typical of his Symbolist style.

Artist Biography
Odilon Redon
Redon's father made his fortune in the slave trade in Louisiana in the 1830s. The boy was conceived in New Orleans and born in Bordeaux in 1840. His parents sent him to live with an uncle on a rural estate at Peyrelebade, where he spent most of his childhood alone. He was sickly and withdrawn. The isolation produced someone who looked inward when he drew.
For the first two decades of his career he worked exclusively in black: charcoal drawings and lithographs he called his noirs. Floating eyeballs, severed heads with closed lids, spiders with human faces, plants that grow teeth. The images are hallucinatory but precisely rendered, closer to medical illustration than fantasy. He published his first lithograph album, Dans le Reve, in 1879. Nobody noticed.
Recognition came sideways. In 1884, Joris-Karl Huysmans published A rebours, a novel about a reclusive aesthete who decorates his rooms with Redon's prints. The book became a cult text for the Symbolist movement and Redon became famous by association. Stephane Mallarme, the Symbolist poet, became a close friend. Redon also completed a series of lithographs dedicated to Edgar Allan Poe, whose poems Mallarme and Baudelaire had translated into French.
After 1900 he stopped making noirs entirely and shifted to colour: pastels and oils of flowers, mythological figures and butterflies in palettes that anticipate Matisse. The transition was so complete that the Surrealists later claimed the black work while the Fauves claimed the colour, and neither group seemed to notice they were talking about the same person.
He studied under Jean-Leon Gerome at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, which is an unlikely pairing: Gerome painted Roman gladiators with photographic precision. Redon painted eyeballs attached to balloons. Goya and Delacroix were the influences that actually stuck.
