A major Symbolist artist, Odilon Redon (1840-1916) was also a
painter of scenic and emotional extremes. Until around 1890, he was
renowned for work in black and white only. These "Noirs" in
charcoal drawing or lithograph were composed not only of a sombre
palette, but also by fantastic, frightening figures. Gradually, the
artist began to introduce colored pastel, and with it, new and
lighter motifs. Flowers became a recurring preoccupation. Where
symbols of melancholy once stood, horses and fluttering butterflies
entered the scene. While this latter-day lyricism and harmony
contrasted sharply with Redon's earlier mood of melancholy, his
guiding principle remained to "place the visible at the service of
the invisible". With his dream-like imagery, sumptuous textures,
and suggestive use of color, Redon sought to create a pictorial
equivalent to his own psyche. From foreboding to lightness, he was
above all an artist of states of mind, with considerable influence
on later Post-Impressionism. About the series Born back in 1985,
the Basic Art Series has evolved into the best-selling art book
collection ever published. Each book in TASCHEN's Basic Art series
features: a detailed chronological summary of the life and oeuvre
of the artist, covering his or her cultural and historical
importance a concise biography approximately 100 illustrations with
explanatory captions
