About Bouquet of Wild Flowers

The artwork “Bouquet of Wild Flowers” by Odilon Redon dates back to circa 1900 and is an oil on canvas creation measuring 38.1 by 55.2 centimeters. Falling under the genres of Realism and Symbolism, this flower painting is currently held in a private collection. Its contribution to art highlights Redon’s transitional phase, embracing naturalistic subjects while infusing them with a symbolic presence.

In “Bouquet of Wild Flowers,” the vivid array of blooms is masterfully arranged to balance their natural allure with a touch of the artist’s subjective reality. The bouquet bursts forth in an eruption of colors, offering deep reds, bright yellows, serene whites, and hints of blue, set against the contrasting backdrop that enhances the intensity of the palette. The flowers seem to dance with an almost ethereal vibration, blending realism with a dose of the mystical—characteristics that are typical of Redon’s later work. The tempered chaos of the wild flora is anchored by the simplicity and solidity of the teal vase, which grounds the composition even as the flowers strain upward and outward. This duality of motion and stillness, combined with the lush, textural brushstrokes, creates a sensory experience that transports the viewer into the artist’s evocative landscape of color and emotion.
