Vase of Flowers, 1916. Creator: Odilon Redon (French, 1840-1916)
Vase of Flowers, 1916. Redon played a major role in the revival of pastel in France in the late 19th century. Though he had worked almost exclusively in black and white throughout his youth--using charcoal and lithography--the change to colour that he made around 1890 signified a shift from asceticism to sensuality. He wrote to his friend, the collector Adries Bonger, " Pastel keeps me going, both materially and morally; it makes me feel young again." He began making still lifes in pastel as a way of mastering colour, but he found they ignited his imagination; he spoke of them as representing " the meeting points of two shores: representation and memory."
