 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.

 Analysis: Redon's "Isis"
Clearly she is attempting to protect or shield the infant in some way, and this corresponds to Redon's original title of the piece, referencing the Egyptian goddess Isis, whose son Horus was injured in a fight with Thoth, the Ibis-god -- for indeed, the demonic figure could be seen as having a birdlike physique.
Redon, usually so intent on showing eyes in his works, has turned the woman away from the viewer, and the only eyes to be seen are the dark, hollow sockets of the little demon, who adds a surreal, ghoulish, and even theatrical element to the otherwise painfully stern image.
Redon's use of charcoal shading is striking, as always: the rough texture produced by his brush-like application leaves the work with a sketchy, indeterminate quality which corresponds perfectly to the mysterious and dreamy nature of the scene.

 Prospectus: Redon's "Isis"
Odilon Redon's 1896 lithograph entitled "I am still the great Isis," from the third series of prints based on Flaubert's Temptation of St. Anthony, is a prime example not only of Redon's graphic style, but of his relationship to the Symbolist movement and its imagery as well.
Huysmans' famous immortalization of Redon in A Rebours (1884), where the hero des Esseintes surveys his collection of Redon's images and feels plunged into "the horrors of a nightmare dream," [4] did, to a certain extent, set the tone for the public reception of Redon's work.
The suggested forms and imagery of Redon's work, then, show him to be both influenced by and influential for the literary figures of his time, and are a testament to the fascination which his works continue to exert.

The test subject must remove the respirator, loosen all facepiece straps, and then redon the respirator mask again; after redonning the mask, he or she must face forward and hold his or her breath for 10 seconds for test measurement.
As is true for all quantitative fit testing protocols including the CNP REDON protocol, it is the fit factor obtained by averaging all of the fit-test scores obtained during fit testing that is important in assessing respirator fit, not the test score obtained from individual fit tests.
The CNP REDON protocol relies on the CNP test procedures and instrumentation described in paragraphs (a) and (c) of Part I.C.4 in Appendix A of the Respiratory Protection Standard, which are similar to requirements specified in paragraph 7.3 of the ANSI standard.

After 1880, with the encouragement of Paul Gauguin and members of the Nabis, Redon turned to oils and pastels, exhibiting in the eighth and final impressionist group show in 1886.
