description:
redon played a major role in the revival of pastel in France in the late 19th century. Though he had worked almost exclusively in black and white throughout his youth—using charcoal and lithography—the change to color that he made around 1890 signified a shift from asceticism to sensuality. He wrote to his friend, the collector Adries Bonger, “Pastel keeps me going, both materially and morally; it makes me feel young again.” He began making still lifes in pastel as a way of mastering color, but he found they ignited his imagination; he spoke of them as representing “the meeting points of two shores: representation and memory.”license:

description:
Known for his dark, velvety charcoal drawings and lithographs, redon began working predominantly in oil and pastel after 1900, thus enlisting color in his explorations of the world of dreams and the imagination. Like other Symbolists, redon searched for alternative experiences beyond the rational logic of Naturalism and Impressionism. He used his knowledge of botany as a starting point for this painting, but infused the flowers with heightened luminosity and sensuous form.license:
