Redon, Odilon
Born Apr. 20, 1840, in Bordeaux; died July 6, 1916, in Paris. French graphic artist and painter. In 1861, Redon entered the Ecole des Beaux Arts, where he was a student of J. L. Gérôme. He was associated with the writers of the symbolist school and with the artists known as the nabis. On the basis of natural forms, Redon created a world of fantastic creatures. By introducing realistic details into this world, he combined dream and reality and thereby made a pathological and mystic statement. Representative works by Redon include the following series of lithographs: In the World of the Daydream (1879), To Edgar Allan Poe (1882), Night (1886), and The Apocalypse of St. John (1889). Redon also painted delicate and decorative still lifes. REFERENCEBerger, K. Odilon Redon: Phantasie und Farbe. Cologne, 1964.Want to thank TFD for its existence?

No references found | Work by transcendentalist artist Raymond Jonson and regionalist Thomas Hart Benton and an abstract still life by Hugh Breckenridge that looks every bit like an Odilon Redon pastel, for example, seem a stretch to be labeled cubist. This animation was made from charcoal drawings executed in a 19th-century symbolist style reminiscent of Odilon Redon or Edvard Munch. EM) Odilon Redon - Portrait of Gauguin (1903-5) In Redon's art crisp symbols float in a perfumed mist - his homage to Gauguin is not a realistic portrait but a dreamlike elegy to this courageous artist's exotic soul. |
