About the Item

Chimera with Green Eyes is an original lithograph on Chine collé, realized by Odilon Redon in 1888, plate 7 from “Les tentations de St.Antoine” (1ère série), unique state, first edition printed in 58 copies, titled in French "La chimère aux yeux verts". In very good conditions. Includes a wooden frame. Odilon Redon (born Bertrand Redon (1840 -1916) was a French symbolist painter printmaker. He is best known for the "dreamlike" paintings created in the first decade of the 20th century, which were inspired by japonese art and which, while continuing to take inspiration from nature, flirted with abstraction. His work is considered a precursor to both Dadaism and Surrealism. Redon described his work as ambiguous and undefinable: My drawings inspire, and are not to be defined. They place us, as does music, in the ambiguous realm of the undetermined. References: Goldwater, Robert; Treves, Marco (1945). Artists on Art. Pantheon. This artwork is shipped from Italy.

  • Portrait de Jeune Fille Portrait of a Girl 1970 original aquatint Leonor Fini
    By Leonor Fini
    Located in Paonia, CO
    Portrait de Jeune Fille is a haunting portrait of a young girl also known as .. Justine… she could be either fading into the distance or just materializing out of a dream state. Her hair and the air around her is in shades of pale blue and the background is the white of the paper. This is a limited edition ( 170/300) aquatint , signed in the plate. In good condition with a 1" repaired tear midway on the right border which will not show when framed. Argentinian-born artist Leonor Fini (1907-1996) is considered one of the great female artists of the twentieth century. She moved to Paris in the early 1930’s where she spent most of her life and almost immediately formed friendships with Salvador Dali, Cartier- Bresson, Max Ernst and other intellectuals of the time. At twenty five she had her first one person show in Paris and was included in the 1936 pivotal exhibition at MOMA…Fantastic Art, Dada and Surrealism…..and that same year had an exhibition at a famous avant garde gallery in New York. Although Fini never considered herself a Surrealist she maintained close personal relationships with several members of the group. One can see how their ideology influenced her work but she remained firmly rooted in the tradition of Symbolism, Metaphysics and Italian and German Romanticism Her works can be found in most important collections of modern art around the world. Fini was renowned as a portraitist and as a painter of erotic sexual tensions with a mysterious atmosphere. She was adamant about being independent and not belonging to any one group. She lived life on her own terms and is sometimes referred to as …..the female Dali. She was also involved with designing for fashion and creating elaborate sets for opera and theatre. As a feminist she was definitely ahead of the times. She produced the first erotic male nude...
