		Odilon was born on April 20, 1840, in Bordeaux.
		Redon made it clear that they had been inspired by his dreams, and they inspire in the spectator a conviction like that of dreams.
		Redon's art was always commanded by his dreams, but the thematic content of his work over his last twenty years is more densely mythical, brimming with newfound hope and light which rose quite unexpectedly out of the depths of the artist's personality.

	Technical Investigation of Odilon Redon's Pastels and Noirs
		In his correspondence, Redon often lamented that his drawings sat in cartons for decades and it is likely that these two works executed in the same year could have been placed together in a box, without interleaving, for many years, during which time oil migration occurred.
		Redon's shift to color can be traced over three decades, but it was not until after 1890 that the artist devoted himself to working extensively in the pastel medium.
		Redon slowly learned to apply less fixative to his pastels, and he even changed the type he used from a resinous balsam to a glue-based fixative that did not alter the vivid color and velvety, matte surface quality as significantly.

	NCAW Spring 03 \| Barbara Larson on Evolution and Degeneration in the Early Work of Odilon Redon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Odilon Redon's graphic work of the last quarter of the nineteenth century includes many examples of mutating or hybrid forms that are informed by transformisme: fish-men, plants with human faces, and ape-men among them.
		Redon's anatomical monstrosities such as the creature in "When life was awakening in the depths of obscure matter" from Origins may have been influenced by Etienne Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, an early nineteenth-century scientist whose work was enjoying a revival in the seventies since he was seen as a precursor to evolutionary theorists.
		Redon's prehistoric battling savages, the many gruesome decapitated heads and his primitivistic commoners respond to the growing anxiety about the possibility of savage regression and mob psychology that emerged in the wake of 1870–71.

		Redon represents the microscopic, the botanical, the half-human as in his drawing “The Chimera regarded All Things with Terror” (from the portfolio Night) or half human and half fish “Everywhere Eyeballs Are Ablaze,” his illustration from The Temptation of Saint Anthony.
		Redon made it clear that his art was inspired by his dreams, and they in turn, seduce the viewer into believing this dark dream.
		Today Redon imitators create art that is categorized as “magic realism,” but he went much further than that by inventing “magic surrealism.” This exhibition explores the beginnings of modernism, and illuminates the impact that Redon and his vision had on the art of the twentieth century.

	Odilon Redon
		"Standing outside trends and movements, Odilon Redon, a native of Bordeaux, produced a rich and enigmatic corpus: 'Like music', he declared, 'my drawings transport us to the ambiguous world of the indeterminate.' In contrast with Goya's monsters and Kubin's nightmare visions, his work is imbued with a melancholy passivity.
		While origins of this disposition must be sought in the artist's experience, the overall effect is entirely consistent with the moods of Symbolism...

	Odilon Redon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Odilon Redon (April 22, 1840 – July 6, 1916) was a Symbolist painter, born in Bordeaux, Aquitaine, France.
		Redon started drawing as a young child, and at the age of 10 he was awarded a drawing prize at school.
		They held, between their gold-edged frames of unpolished pearwood, undreamed-of images: a Merovingian-type head, resting upon a cup; a bearded man, reminiscent both of a Buddhist priest and a public orator, touching an enormous cannon-ball with his finger; a dreadful spider with a human face lodged in the centre of its body.

		Delving into the imagination, Redon created a universe of hybrid creatures, offered his own interpretations of literary, biblical, and mythological subjects, and presented the environment in a singular way: we see grinning disembodied teeth, smiling spiders, winged chariots, unfamiliar plant life.
		Beyond the Visible: The Art of Odilon Redon presents the full range of Redon's achievements—mysterious charcoal "noirs," luminous pastels, richly textured canvases, dramatically shaded lithographs—through MoMA's unparalleled collection of his work.
		Highlighting a major gift of over 100 pieces from The Ian Woodner Family Collection, the exhibition shows the issues at stake in Redon's cultural world, explores the beginnings of modernism, and illuminates the hold that the artist's vision has had on art of the twentieth century and today.

		His creativity exists "in causing improbable beings to live in human fashion according to the laws of the probable".
		Redon combined various recognizable elements in his artwork that had no relationship to each other in order to seed the imagination of the viewer and to power that imagination in any direction a person chose.

		Redon, famous for the enigmatic images of his lithographs and paintings, also excelled in the art of pastels.
		Bacou presents us with a handsome collection of those pastels and in an essay discusses how the artist gradually abandoned the dark mystery of charcoal for the richness of color obtainable with pastels.
		Bacou includes Redon's own comments on his pastels, including his essay "Confessions of an Artist." Redon's essay, Bacou's scholarly commentary, and the 70 color plates combine to enlarge our appreciation for Redon's visual meditations on beauty.

		Odilon Redon or The Eye Like a Strange Balloon Mounts Toward Infinity (1995)
		After the successful art-house release of Guy Maddin's feature film Careful in 1992, and the made-for-tv half-hour The Hands of Ida, Guy was commissioned by the BBC in 1994 (along with a select few filmmakers around the world) to choose a favourite work of art and make a short film about it.
		Eye Like A Strange Balloon taken from a period of Redon's life where he used charcoal almost exclusively up until the 1890's (when Redon started using pastels and colours in his work), contributes much of the inspirational source for this brilliant short film.

		Caught between description and dream, the felt and the imagined, French artist Odilon Redon, whose career bridged the 19th and 20th centuries, transformed the natural world into nightmarish visions and bizarre fantasies.
		Closely allied with the Symbolist movement, Redon offered his own interpretations of literary, biblical, and mythological subjects; created a universe of strange hybrid creatures; and presented landscape in a singular way: we see grinning disembodied teeth, smiling spiders, melancholic floating faces, winged chariots, unfamiliar plant life, and velvety fl or colored swirls of atmosphere.
		Since I own a Redon book, purchased in the seventies, one that's literally filled with color plates, my first question was to wonder if the lack of them in this book was a cost saving measure.

		Following upon his brooding, visionary, Symbolist charcoal drawings (noirs), after the turn of the 20th century the French artist Odilon Redon created a number of lyrical, beautifully colored flower compositions in a variety of media.
		Anchored by larger blooms in the center, the bouquet spreads out to include petals so delicate that they practically disappear into the neutral background.
		Even when addressing this commonplace subject, Redon exhibited his gift for discerning and making visible the inner life of things, whether culled from the imagination or, as here, from nature.
