Painting Description
"Gustave Flaubert" is an artwork created by French symbolist artist, Odilon Redon. This graphite on paper portrait, completed in the 19th century, features famous French novelist Gustave Flaubert. The artworkifies Redon's stylistic transition towards the Symbolist movement, seeing a departure from his earlier, purely 'noir' works.
The portrait showcases Flaubert in stark, somber tones, reflecting Redon's admiration for the novelist's unyielding commitment to his craft. Redon, known for his inventive exploration of dream-like symbols and psychological depth, gives us a glimpse into Flaubert's personality through his characteristic use of expressive line making and luminosity.
While the artwork is a testament to Flaubert's literary influence, it is also a tribute to the profound friendship between Flaubert and Redon. Despite the limited color range, the portrait exhibits a haunting depth, echoing Flaubert's own complex and often melancholic narrative voice.
The artwork resides in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, holding a significant place as a representation of the enduring connection between the worlds of visual art and literature during the Symbolist movement in France.
