Vase of Flowers (Pink Background)

Description

Vase of Flowers (Pink Background) by Odilon Redon presents a branching bouquet against a softly worked field of pink and peach. Red, yellow, white and blue flowers rise from a pale patterned vase, with slender stems opening into the surrounding space. Made around 1906, the painting combines the familiar form of a floral still life with Redon’s imaginative handling of color.

The vase provides a steady base for the loosely gathered blooms, while the warm background allows small contrasts of blue and green to stand out. Some flowers appear distinct and others dissolve into touches of color. This balance between recognizable objects and suggestive forms gives the arrangement a quiet, dreamlike character.
