Untitled is a 1905 oil by Odilon Redon, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows two shadowy figures in a dreamy, misty scene. The person on the left has a dark, flowing cloak and wings, while the one on the right wears a deep red robe. The sky is soft and cloudy, blending into warm yellows and blues. The brushstrokes are thick and textured, giving the painting a fuzzy, almost ghostly look. The colors feel muted but glow from within. If you like this style, look up impasto next.
Born Bertrand-Jean Redon on 20 April 1840 in Bordeaux, the artist adopted the name Odilon from his mother, Marie-Odile.
