6. Odilon Redon- The Marsh Flower, a Sad and Human Face
This French painting was intended as homage to Francisco Goya, who had some creepy ideas of his own. The face is sad and should inspire the viewer to wonder why. Instead, we wonder why the face is sprouting from the flower. Plus, the severe angles of the face and the offset eyes give it a deranged expression.
