More about this artwork

Odilon Redon's evocative lithograph "Centaur visant les Nues" (Centaur Aiming at the Clouds) from 1895 is a striking exploration of mythological and symbolic elements. The artwork portrays a centaur, a creature from Greek mythology with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a horse, poised dynamically atop a mound. The centaur is caught in a dramatic pose, arching his back as he draws his long bow upwards toward the ethereal realm of the clouds.Redon’s keen use of line and shadow creates a sense of tension and potential energy, suggesting a moment frozen just before release. This image, with its minimalistic yet powerful lines, expresses a dramatic intertwining of human emotion and animalistic power. The empty horizon and sparse landscape enhance the height and isolation of the centaur, inviting viewers to contemplate the mythical creature's solitude and the symbolic act of aiming at the unattainable sky.This piece is typical of Redon's work, which often delves into the realm of the fantastical and the surreal, exploring themes of dreams and the subconscious.

Artist
Odilon Redon
All Artworks

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.
