Odilon Redon

by Odilon Redon (Painter), Carolyn Keay (Editor), Thomas Walters (Introduction)

The work of Odilon Redon remains an eloquent testimony to the achievement of one of the most original and influential of the fin de siècle artists. The strange, dislocated and uncanny images in his lithographs stemmed from an imagination which dwelt in a Golden Age which bred, as well as gargantuan monsters, mythical archetypes which have become part of the common language of the unconscious.

A selection from among Redon's best known lithographs, pastel portraits and paintings.
