Odilon Redon got the inspiration to paint flowers after meeting the botanist Armand Clavaud. Crave is a botanical cataloger in Redon’s hometown of Bordeaux.

Cleveland’s ground-breaking acquisition of several Odilon Redon artworks in the 1920s inspired local philanthropist and collector Leonard C. Hanna, Jr. to purchase the work in 1937 Pastel still life of brightly colored flowers. Hannah purchased the painting from Jacques Seligmann. Seligman, a New York and Paris-based dealer, was a key figure in introducing 19th-century French art to American audiences. In 1939, Hannah lent the pastel painting to the New York World’s Fair to represent Redon’s work on display. Those who saw the work there were drawn to the vivid colors and timeless subject matter that the artist focused on in the last moments of his life.

We would like to thank the Cleveland Museum of Art for sharing today’s painting with us.
