More about this artwork

This painting, titled "Poppies and Daisies" by Odilon Redon, showcases a vivid and moody still life that focuses on a striking contrast between brightness and darkness. The painting features a dark, almost black background with a bronze-toned vase in which a bright red poppy and a cluster of white daisies are arranged. The poppy is large and blooms boldly, serving as a strong visual focal point. Its petals are rendered with rich, varied shades of red and texture that suggest its delicate and ephemeral nature.Beside it, the daisies add a contrasting lightness and simplicity, their white petals standing out sharply against the dark backdrop. The centers of the daisies are a deep yellow, drawing the eye and adding depth to the composition.Redon's use of light and shadow is masterful, highlighting the metallic sheen on the vase and the subtle details of the flowers. The overall mood is one of dramatic elegance, with the flowers seeming almost luminous in the enveloping darkness. This piece is a beautiful example of Redon's ability to blend naturalism with a sense of emotional and symbolic depth.

Odilon Redon was a French symbolist painter, printmaker, draughtsman and pastellist. Early in his career, both before and after fighting in the Franco-Prussian War, he worked almost exclusively in charcoal and lithography, works referred to as noirs. 

During the 1890s he began working in pastel and oils, which quickly became his favourite medium, abandoning his previous style of noirs completely after 1900. He also developed a keen interest in Hindu and Budhist religion and culture, which increasingly showed in his work.

He is perhaps best known today for the "dreamlike" paintings created in the first decade of the 20th century, which were heavily inspired by Japanese art and which, while continuing to take inspiration from nature, heavily flirted with abstraction. His work is considered a precursor to both Dadaism and Surrealism.
