Odilon Redon
Profile of a Woman in the Window
#6
#2
The pastel Profile of a Woman in the Window resembles a medieval stained-glass window. The artist lets us interpret images freely, which is in line with the self-imposed goals of writers of this movement. In his painting, Redon depicts flowers, the favorite symbolist motif as an embodiment of beauty: they initially contain something inexpressible and secret.

Peculiarities of Redon`s art

“Around us are symbols of flowers
Mournful water lilies of pleasures.
Silent spells of lovers
Dreams of lianas, coldness of mosses”.
Mournful water lilies of pleasures.

These lines by Maurice Maeterlinck are consonant to many artworks by Redon. Through the combination of clear contours and blurry colors, the artist creates the sensations of clarity and fluctuation at the same time. The female profile, resembling a mask, is somewhat immersed in itself, in the state of nirvana, and brings us into the world of visions and dreams. The theme of silence and dreaming, so popular among symbolists, is a means of intuitive cognition, a way to comprehend hidden secrets.
