This Art Book with Foreword and annotated reproductions by Maria Tsaneva contains 208 selected drawings, prints, watercolors, pastels and paintings of Odilon Redon. Odilon Redon was a French symbolist painter, printmaker, draftsman and master of the pastels. He describes his own work as "e;ambiguous and indefinable"e;:"e;My drawings inspire, and are not to be defined. They place us, as does music, in the ambiguous realm of the undetermined."e;Redon's paintings and drawings represent an exploration of his internal feelings and awareness. He himself wanted to "e;place the visible at the service of the invisible"e;; thus, although his work seems filled with strange beings and grotesque dichotomies, his aim was to represent pictorially the ghosts of his own mind.
