One of the most expressive artists of the Symbolism movement, Odilon Redon (1840-1916) drew upon his own fantastic inner world to transform common subjects into strange, eerie images and to depict spiders and serpents, skeletons and skulls, gnomes and monsters--all in a distinctive style of controlled, delicate realism. Modern devotees regard Redon's translation of the subconscious into visual reality as a precursor to Surrealism, and this modestly priced volume offers a rich compilation of the influential artist's graphic works. Its 209 illustrations--172 lithographs, plus 37 etchings and engravings--offer unforgettable scenes of fantasy and mystery.
