More about this artwork

We are delighted to feature a remarkable artwork, "Paul Sérusier" (1903), by the esteemed artist Odilon Redon on our website. This drawing captures the essence of Sérusier, a pivotal figure in the post-impressionist movement and founder of Les Nabis, through Redon's sublime and sensitive handling of the lithographic medium.This piece, rendered primarily in soft pencil, focuses intimately on the profile of Paul Sérusier. The artwork beautifully showcases Redon's skill in portraying depth and personality, primarily through delicate line work. Sérusier’s thoughtful expression and finely detailed beard and hair are depicted with particular care and subtlety. Redon, known for his unique blend of the mystical and the natural, brings a gentle humanism to this portrait, offering a glimpse into the character of his contemporary."Paul Sérusier" provides not only a visual delight but also serves as a historical bridge, connecting two influential artists of different movements within modern art. This drawing is a testament to Redon's respect and admiration for Sérusier, celebrating his contribution to the evolution of modern art.

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.
