- Odilon Redon was a French symbolist painter born in 1840. He is known for his dreamlike artwork which gave way to art movements such as Dadaism and Surrealism. Some of his well-known works include The Cyclops, Baronne de Domecy, Closed Eyes and many others.

I wish this video ( and internet!) was available in 1990 when I had my term paper at high school with Decadentism!!! Odilon Redon was the Art subject and very few I could find about him… 🙏
Yes. But there was the library. And reading . I’m happy I didn’t have the internet to do my work and thinking. Having to source out the information, analyze and interpret, place in context, form your own argument and articulate it - plus the reading and research - all that is important. It’s not just passing on the paper or test the easiest way. I expect you did and likely learned well due to no internet. This is entertaining and a good way for interested people to learn a bit. But it’s not what formal study is supposed to be.
internet did exist in 1990.... it was just dial-up and not overly commercial.
@@lisaj2269 googling info and reading info from a book is the same thing.. not much different, you still have to post sources of sites. Can make an argument that books give you the answer just the same.
I first discovered Redon at a LACMA exhibit years ago. I was surprised that, even though his pieces weren't as big and colorful as the exhibits around him, his work was extremely intriguing and compelling. I agree with you about his unique vulnerability, they all felt personal and made me want to spend more time with them.
Thanks for the videos! I look forward to watching more.
I’ve just started watching your channel, perhaps I’ve seen 5 or 6 episodes. At first I was just curious but now I enjoy viewing art I would never see and learn about the artist, their styles, thoughts, lives, and so much more. Thank you so much!
Your comment made my night! Thank you so much 😊
@@Art_Deco I've seen two. Subscribed
The intriguing thing about Redon is that he created many of his masterpieces in the autumn of his life. The colorful boat trip was completed when he was 63, and many of his esotherical pastels where created when he was past 70. In a way, this is similar to the work of Claude Monet, who was born in the same year, 1840, and created his famous water lilies when he was past 70, i.e. around the same time.
"Esotherical"? Are you sure you're using the right word? I don't see anything esoteric about these pieces.
@@WobblesandBean Of course he meant esoteric, assuming he was using an english word. If these works are anything, they are esoteric.
OED: esoteric: intended for or likely to be understood by only a small number of people with a specialized knowledge or interest.
GOD HELP ME I HATE the grammar and spelling police
I have loved Redon’s art for more years than I care to state. You taught me much about an artist I have admired and explored through about two thirds of my life. Thank you, beautifully presented.
I discovered Odilon Redon in 1969 as an art student pursuing our college library. Lover of the Symbolists, I found a book written completely in French on Redon, with beautiful plates. I immediately fell in love with his mystical style. Thank you for this presentation.
I have never heard of him before this video. You did an excellent job of describing him and his art. I must admit I find it a bit different than what one normally sees, but I also find it very interesting. I want to look at each piece for a longer time than you allowed. I want to see what else there is to see in each piece. This artist had a special mind for art and his works cause one to stop and enjoy each piece as one ponders just what it is they see. Thank you for this.
I haven’t read other comments but, the cropping of artwork drove me nuts!! That said... I have enjoyed watching all of your other videos.. your narration is relaxed and somehow compelling
I now cannot wait to explore more of Redon's work! His dreamy style reminds me of some of Chagall's wonderful paintings. 😘💕💞💗
Its presently 12:24 AM, and I just discovered your videos and their quite amazing. Please do a review of Juan Luna's Spolarium and the Stanczyk's The Sad Clown. Both are deeply underrated paintings. Keep up the amazing work. Girl, you and you're channel have got great potential.
The thing about the Guardian Spirit piece that stands out to me is the sharp contrast in the skin of the spirit. Monochrome comes with a lot of limitations and imagination, but in this case it seems fairly apparent that something was intended. On the one hand, to me it makes it resemble a single huge eyeball, if you drop focus. On the other, it particularly highlights the alien nature of the spirit, along with the short forehead and broad nose. It's quite a long way from almost any other depiction of a spiritual being, it's almost uncoupled from consensus reality. I'd never seen Redon's work before but this video has sold me on learning more.
I really like the “Butterflies” painting. I like his use of color in that one. The charcoal one, with the giant eye, I also liked that one. There was something- interesting- about it that I just can’t put my finger on. But “The Cyclops”… I don’t know, that one creeped me out. I felt like it was staring at me and if it was hanging on a wall that eye would follow you. That just creeps me out. In general, I wasn’t a fan of the paintings I saw, but those 2 particular pieces I liked.
I had never seen the butterfly painting before, and the colors are luscious!
I loved Redon before and I love him even more now. What a beautiful soul.
the cyclops was included in one of my literature textbooks back in high school, and i've often wondered about it. thanks for making this video! it was really interesting to learn about the artist
I've seen that Cyclops one before too
I don't know that much about art but the Cyclops gotta be one of his most famous work in the modern era, I've seen that before a bunch of times but don't recognize his other work in this video..
NEVER HEARD OF THIS ARTIST. SO BEAUTIFUL.
There's something about the way you presented this that echoed the artist and the works you showed. Scrolling seemed to reveal the work in the way it feels to look at them. Thank you.
Odilon Redon (o-dee-yoe-n - which was his nickname, meaning swan - ray-doe-n) created noirs with lithographic printing AFTER they were drawn in charcoal. I've been studying and reading about him since 1987 when my painting professor recognized an affinity to him in my painting. I have a few books about him. I even used to paint floral arrangements and always used to put flowers in my paintings. I feel his influence to this day. Even though his work went from something subtly menacing and nightmarish in b&w to being more sunny and dreamy in color, I still find that a touch of that menace can be found in his dreamscapes if you know where/how to look. I appreciate that particular element.
one 'n', so oo-di-lon
I would _much_ prefer that the works be shown whole, in their original aspect ratios with no scrolling.
Redon is one of my favorite occult painters.
As a teenager I discovered Redons ‘silence’ At MoMa. It was so soothing that I returned to meditate in it many times until I left the City.
Thanks so much for covering Redon.
Since childhood I have been drawn to his art. My favorite
"The soul of a flea" I've been lucky enough to visit at the MFA in Boston. It's like a little gem.
I believe it was him as a father looking down and watching at the soul of his lost child as it is crossing the river to the other realm
Thanks for sharing; very informative. I was unfamiliar with Redon and enjoyed viewing his works. Please show the full pieces next time without scrolling! Looking forward to watching the rest of your library :)
Wow you’ve gotten so much better at talking in your videos, it’s amazing to see how much you’ve grown
Watching this video after seeing your most recent videos… and I just wanna say I LOVE your more recent video styles. I love the deadpan humor and editing. This video was great too! Keep it up 😍
This was very informative. I don't think I have ever seen his artwork before. I especially liked the one of the guardian angel overlooking the boat and the Cyclops.
Just became one of my favorites. Thank you.
Regardless of your distinctive style of articulation clarifying art/ history, your voice is very calming and soothing. I'd really appreciate listening to you reading classic novels. ♥️
I think I just found a new favourite artist, I can't believe I haven't heard of him before. Thank you so much for this video
His work reminds me a bit of Chagall's dreamy paintings. 💗💞💕😘
Love the videos, keep them coming!
Thank you! Thanks so much for watching!
the speech on this one is so slow, I almost fall asleep. Thankfully I can speed up the video.
I love Odilon Redon, I have one of those postcard hanging things on my wall with 6 of his works including the incredible Cyclops watching over the woman piece. His art is so enchanting and mysterious.
Love your channel btw, I subbed today.
Loving your videos keep it up!
So beautiful. I definitely want to see more of the artist’s work. Thanks for making this video!
i have binge watch your videos today. thank you for such awesome content, truly in awe xx
I think the body language of Cyclops is weirdly shy. Like he's trying to hide from the woman
Art is new to me, thankyou for making these.
You teach and I will learn.
Please show the whole painting instead of the slow scrolling.
Yes--extremely annoying to only see a portion of the works.
The scrolling ruins the contemplation of the artwork. Please show the whole picture
Another fantastic video!
Such beautiful and unique art!
Thank you I'd seen his images from time to time and they always struck me especially that eyeball balloon. And that's sad about him dying while the world was at War. And afterwards, the world that he lived in didn't exist anymore.
Thank you so much for this video.
Yeesh. I'm glad you found your voice as you made more videos. You're miles beyond this now. Nice.
I love this video so much, it explains so much and it made me learn so much more. I loved the choice of background music, because I actually learned that song last year when I was doing RCM 5. Thank you for putting in so much effort into your videos!
What is the name of the song?
I think these pieces are a beautiful example of how not everything that is monstrous is a monster.
Outstanding video.
Thank you!
Thanks!
Thank you so much!!!
The balloon charcoal sketch might imagination of that during the Franco-Prussian War baloons were used to transit to and from besieged Paris and of course for observation.
I'm so glad you changed the style of video after these short framed videos. Are are funny as hell
I love the gentle cyclops. 👁😊
Love his work.
One of my favorites
I love art....and now I love Redon 🍒🌸🍒
I love his art. Why didn't you show the paintings in their entirety?
GORGEOUS!
I've tried to watch this video 3 times already because the subject seems very interesting but... I can't get past the narration. It's so slow. I understand it's perhaps intended to add atmosphere but it just drives me up the wall, I keep yelling internally "finish the sentence!"
Agreed. I had to speed up the video. The spaced out pacing is awkward & makes it hard for me to focus on what’s being said. Feels like she has a school project & is trying to make the video long enough to fulfill the time requirement.
I remember reading about Odilon Redon at the recommendation of a professor in college, I think I took some ideas from him when formulated my senior art thesis, but damn I don't think I gave him enough analysis, because I didn't know half the things this video summarized.
i subbed because i love your humour, insight and voice. but i definitely had to watch this at 1.25x speed. (yeck!)
I do wish we weren't just looking at details through a letterbox. I'd like to see each painting/drawing at least once in full.
Sorry, it's driving me bonkers cause it's one of my favorite pieces too, but the piece is called "GUARDIAN SPIRIT OF THE WATERS (1878)"
OK. That giant head drawing is very unsettling. It's like I used to believe. An enormous entity looking down deeply at me. My every move, my every moment, my every thought, and deed. It is horrific! When I first came to understand there was nothing there, A void appeared for a short time. I lay in bed and the ceiling opened up to the universe. It was empty. Enormous and empty of a watcher. No one making sure things went a certain way. Then I felt privacy at last. I felt grounded, and that I belonged among the other beings and plants on this planet No floating head however concerned is a good thing to me. I am glad it is gone from my existence.
I have so many questions.
And none of them are related to Goldens...
100% not judging, but I NEED to know what the Serious-art-videos-to-informational-animal-videos-to-informational-yet-funny-breakdowns-of-classic-paintings pipeline looks like!
looks like those AI generated art like midjourney bot, StarryAI, artbreeder, hotpot ai, wombo
The Eye in Cyclop is Consciousness
Nice video. I am not a huge fan of Redon. Like Van Gogh there is a little too much of the painter in his work for me, but his work is interesting in the scheme of things going on in the 1860s - 80s. Art like Redon's seems to me to be dark even when the subject is light hearted - but that is my own feeling of course. The idea in a work like the Cyclops seems to have been perfected in a work like Dubuffet's 'Cow with the Subtle Nose'. Have you seen that one? Both are rather sweet, but I find Dubuffet's lighter style and more loveable than Redon's work.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I have not seen that painting but will check it out. Thank you for watching!
Hey, what's the music you use in the starting? It's also used midways. I am entranced by it, but unable to find it anywhere.
..cheers for the undetermined!!..
Мне, картины Родона, напоминают сны.
Хотя бы потому, что реальное, переплетаясь с нереальным - создаёт мир, который и тревожит и притягивает одновременно..
Этот мир смутно знаком, как будто ты уже был здесь раньше.. и тебе очень хочется туда вернуться..
Play at 1.25 speed, thank me later
Better at 2X.
I had to.
Some art historians think Van Gogh may have had Epilepsy.
que voz bonita e suave...
Interesting
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE THE CYCLOPS!
💖
wow.
I have sound color synesthesia and experience of seizure like activity due to a now corrected TBI
I beliwve i recognize both in these works
I cant hear over that loud music!
Can you include the music that you used?
"The ambiguous realm of the undetermined...."
@artdeco can you please do Spolarium by Juan Luna
I had to turn the speed up to 1.75 to follow this. Y o u t a l k t o o s l o w l y.
6:40 It's just a Canyon Crown. It's ok.
I wish my epilepsy would help me with my art. I just wake up on the floor, and have no idea what happened. It's pretty useless.
I wish there was an option to remove the distracting background music. Turn it down at least.
Ps re the guardian...cf d. H. Lawrence..."sail gently, o ship of my soul" contemporary
U sound like you just had a stroke,,,you have improved,in the past year ,thankfully
Why the slooow narration this time?
Just discovered your channel and really enjoy it. BUT, please tone down the volume of the music as it competes too much with your voice. Thank you
Narrator name?
why are you talking so slowly? Your other videos aren't like this... I think you can speed up your speech...your subscribers can keep up... I assure you.😉
I have watched this channel on art a few times now. I like your commentary. I wonder who writes the words that the narrator reads? I listen to the voice of a young woman reading the words of a wise old man.....
Dude. What is this sexist garbage?
Painful commentary. I lasted 90 seconds.
Lame title. Haunt our dreams…. ooh 😂 Lame.
An art video where you cannot see the art as a whole...??? Lose the scroll please.
I really wish the screen wasn’t cropped to look like a frame. It cuts part of the art out. Plus the narrator’s voice is annoying and amateurish
And SLOW! Holy mackerel.
I've got to say, not showing the whole painting was kind of frustrating, especially when the voiceover mentioned something that wasn't yet on screen. Makes me just stare waiting for what was mentioned to show up instead of listening to what else is being said during the scrolling.
