The deformed polyp floated on the shores, a sort of smiling and
hideous Cyclops Lithograph on chine appliqué on wove paper, 54.7 x 36 cm, by Odilon Redon, 1883 National Gallery of Art, Washington DC |
||||||||||
| Plate III from Redon's portfolio of ten lithographs titled Les Origines, an exploration of dream states, imagination, and the dark, hidden aspects of nature and consciousness, themes central to the Symbolist movement. Redon's work often aims to evoke a mood or an idea rather than depict a literal subject, presenting a vision of origins and primitive life that is both unsettling and visually striking. |
