Armor (1891) by Odilon Redon – Symbolist Portrait of Mystery and Imagination
About the Artwork
Odilon Redon’s Armor (1891) epitomises the Symbolist fascination with dreams, the subconscious, and emotional intensity. This haunting charcoal drawing portrays a veiled figure whose spiked halo and shadowed face evoke both protection and vulnerability. The work merges spiritual mysticism with surreal imagination. Ideal for minimalist or moody interiors, it adds sophistication and psychological intrigue to contemporary or eclectic art collections.
About the Artist
Odilon Redon (1840–1916) was a French Symbolist painter and printmaker who explored the realms of dreams and imagination. Influenced by literature and spirituality, Redon’s charcoal “noirs” and later vibrant colour works bridged Romanticism and Modernism. His art profoundly influenced later Surrealists, offering deeply introspective visions that questioned the boundary between reality and inner consciousness.
