A műről
Odilon Redon himself described this drawing as representing “a primitive being contemplating the head of a giant.” During Redon’s life, new ideas of evolution provoked a fascination with other societies that were unmediated by industrialization and which Europeans viewed as “primitive” and closer to the natural world. Redon’s figures relate to these racially insensitive romanticized stereotypes, while also revealing other windows of creative thought.
Although the work evokes the biblical story of David and Goliath, its mood is mysterious and reflective rather than triumphant.

This is one of Redon’s celebrated black-and-white works he called “noirs” (blacks), which were strange, often disturbing images derived from the subconscious mind or dream world. In them, the artist deftly applied velvety charcoal and black chalk using a repertory of techniques—wiping, rubbing, erasing—to bring out a rich variety of tonal, chromatic, and textural effects.

Odilon Redon életében
A teljes életútMarch 1874
Death of his father
In March 1874 Redon’s father died. It was a severe shock to the artist, who never got over his resentment of his father for the “homeless” years of his childhood, yet it let him devote himself entirely to art.

The Paris circle: Mallarmé, Chenavard, Chausson
