Large Vase with Flowers

Odilon Redon, c. 1912

In the center of this painting is a blue vase filled with a variety of flowers in different sizes and colors. The flowers are in shades of orange, pink, yellow, and blue, with green leaves surrounding the blossoms. Some of the flowers are large and round, while others are smaller and shaped like trumpets or teardrops. At the center of the blue vase is a section of pink with some red lines. A few blue petals fall from the flowers into the air. The background behind the vase is mostly gray, although it contains mottled patches of pink, yellow, teal, and light green.
