Saint George by Odilon Redon

Saint George by Odilon Redon

Pastel is a rimless colored pencil, molded with an adhesive from coloring powder. Depending on the amount of adhesive, the pastel may be hard or soft. One of the first recognized pastel masters in France was Chardin. His pastel portraits are amazingly soft.

Surprisingly, he created them in very old years, never touching pastels before. By the end of the 19th century, pastels became an unusually popular material among painters. She worked Millet, Degas, Cassat. Artists painted portraits, landscapes and still lifes in this technique.

Quite often, Redon turned to pastels. Most of his lovely floral still lifes, as well as the masterpiece Ophelia among the Flowers, are written in pastel. Here are two pastel works of the artist, created in the first decade of the XX century – “Buddha” and “Saint George”.
