EDITORS COMMENTS
Cheval aile," or Winged Horse, is a captivating lithograph created by the renowned French artist Odilon Redon in 1894. This exquisite work of art, now a cherished piece of heritage, showcases Redon's mastery of symbolism and his ability to transport the viewer to a mystical realm. The monochromatic image, with its striking contrast between black and white, invites the audience to explore the intricacies of this fantastical scene. The Winged Horse, a mythological creature from Greek mythology, is depicted in all its glory. With its powerful body and outstretched wings, the horse appears both majestic and menacing, embodying the paradoxical nature of mythical beasts. Redon's use of lithography, a printing technique that allows for intricate detail and tonal range, adds depth and texture to the image. The artist's skilled hand is evident in the delicate lines that define the horse's muscular form and the delicate shading that brings its wings to life. This work is a testament to the power of imagination and the enduring allure of mythology. It invites us to ponder the deeper meanings behind the myth of the Winged Horse and to explore the rich cultural heritage that has inspired artists throughout the ages. Originally exhibited in the late 19th century, "Cheval aile" is now a prized possession of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. This iconic piece continues to captivate audiences and inspire artists, reminding us of the timeless beauty and power of art.
