ODILON REDON. BOUQUET OF FLOWERS

Bouquet of Flowers. Artist: Odilon Redon (French, Bordeaux 1840-1916 Paris). Dimensions: 31 5/8 x 25 1/4 in. (80.3 x 64.1 cm). Date: ca. 1900-1905. As a young man, Redon was fascinated with Darwinian biology and enjoyed a close friendship with Armand Clavaud, the curator of the botanical gardens in his hometown of Bordeaux. In late floral still lifes such as this one, the artist demonstrated a naturalist's sense of wonder as well as a richly inventive imagination, combining many different types of blooms and foliage in an effervescent display, attended by fluttering butterflies. The vase, which appears in a number of Redon's flower pictures, was made and presented to him by the ceramicist Marie Botkin around 1900.
