Closed Eyes

'Closed Eyes' by Odilon Redon, created circa 1890, exemplifies his mastery within the Symbolism movement. Redon, renowned for his evocative use of dark and dreamlike imagery, often employed lithography and other printmaking techniques on paper to explore inner vision and imagination. This work serves as a sketch and study of introspection, focusing on the theme suggested by its title: the act of closing one's eyes. The piece reflects Redon’s interest in the subconscious, inviting viewers to consider what lies beyond visible reality through his distinct symbolic style.
