Volupte, Fantome Elastique! (Pleasure, elastic phantom!),
EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating lithograph by the renowned French artist Odilon Redon, dates back to 1890. This exquisite antique artwork is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the 19th century and the depth of human imagination. Redon's masterpiece, a lithotint, offers a fantastical and mystical depiction of a nude female figure lying on a bed, surrounded by a grey, enigmatic atmosphere. The woman, with her flowing, elongated limbs, appears to be in a state of profound pleasure, her eyes closed in blissful abandon. The elastic phantom of the title alludes to the fluidity and flexibility of her form, as well as the intangible nature of pleasure itself. The image is reminiscent of the poetic works of Charles Baudelaire, particularly his collection "Les Fleurs du Mal" (The Flowers of Evil), which explored the darker aspects of human emotion and desire. Redon's artwork, with its evocative use of black and white, invites the viewer to delve into the depths of their own imagination and contemplate the concept of pleasure in all its complexity. This scene, once displayed in the bedchamber or bedroom of a wealthy patron, is now a cherished addition to the collections of many prestigious art galleries and museums, including the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. The enduring appeal of Redon's "Volupte, Fantome Elastique!" lies in its ability to transport us to a world of sensuality, mystery, and the transcendent power of art.
