EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Closed Eyes, 1890" by Odilon Redon showcases the artist's mastery in capturing the essence of a woman's peaceful slumber. The monochrome image, rendered in stunning color lithography, transports viewers to a realm of tranquility and introspection. In this artwork, we see a female figure with closed eyes and an expression of serenity on her face. Redon skillfully portrays the delicate features of her visage, emphasizing the subtle contours and shadows that define her sleeping form. The green hues surrounding her create an atmosphere reminiscent of nature and evoke feelings of restfulness. As one delves deeper into this piece, it becomes evident that it transcends mere representation; it is laden with symbolism. The closed eyes symbolize not only physical sleep but also inner contemplation and introspection. This work belongs to the Symbolist movement, which sought to convey emotions and ideas through visual metaphors rather than literal depictions. The Art Institute of Chicago proudly houses this remarkable artwork as part of The Stickney Collection. Its presence within their esteemed collection speaks volumes about its artistic significance. Odilon Redon's "Closed Eyes" invites us to pause amidst our busy lives and appreciate moments of respite and self-reflection. It serves as a reminder that even in our most vulnerable state – when our eyes are closed – we can find solace within ourselves.
