One of the most expressive artists of the Symbolism movement, Odilon (1840–1916) led a quiet life. Withdrawn in manner, conventional in dress, and virtually unknown for the first half of his career, the French painter and graphic artist drew upon his own startlingly complex and fantastic inner world to create haunting works that reveal an existence beyond that of everyday vision. He transformed common subjects and models into strange, eerie images and exhibited a predilection for spiders and serpents, skeletons and skulls, gnomes and monsters — all rendered in a distinctive style of controlled, delicate realism.
Redon's popularity arose chiefly among young progressive artists, who considered his works as visual correspondence to the literary symbolism of Mallarmé. Modern devotees regard Redon's translation of the subconscious world of dreams into visual reality as a precursor to Surrealism. This modestly priced volume offers a rich compilation of the influential artist's graphic works, with 209 illustrations — 72 lithographs, plus 37 etchings and engravings — depicting unforgettable scenes of fantasy and mystery.

5.0 out of 5 stars Late 19th Century French Symbolist Graphic Works
Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2006
Odilon Redon's graphic works are eerie yet beautiful. Many are in the public domain and you may have seen some already (think hot air balloon with an eyeball searching upward). His artistry is a combination of a lonely childhood filled with enormous rooms and heavy drapery, and a desire to draw what the Romantics were writing about. His work is dark but joyful. Many references to the saints and Christianity, but that was the world he lived in. Overall, a treasure to own, occasionally peruse and learn from. If you like smiling spiders this book is for you.

1.0 out of 5 stars Giant Disappointment!
Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2007
I'm a new admirer of Redon. I was truly excited to get this book so I could pour over the many bizarre and beautiful images I would find within it's pages. I cannot tell you how disappointed I am with the poor quality of reproductions. It's a cheap book, I get it---but wow. The image quality is about as good a 10 cent black and white copy you'd get from the library copy machine. The delicacy is missing. The luminous quality which makes his work so stunning, brilliant, and unearthly is completely absent. I guess what was most disappointing is how vacant and lifeless the work appears. I really can't believe it.

Even though there aren't a lot of books available on Redon, but I'm pretty certain this particular one will be returned. I find no joy looking through it. I should have known better than to purchase a $15 art book. I have ordered, but have yet to receive, the Redon book "As In Dream" and here's hoping it's not a let down, too.

Der (nur kurze) Text ist in englisch. Dafür bekommt man 209 (!) Redon-Zeichnungen vom feinsten :-)
Wer den Künstler mag, der bekommt hier die maximale Sammlung an Redons Meisterwerken zum wirklich kleinen Preis - Alle Abbildungen gehören in die Rubrick "schwarz", und sind eine (träumerische) Augenweide in guter Qualität.
Das Buch ist ein Taschenbuch, aber es hält das Blättern und Stöbern aus.
Also kann es wärmstens empfohlen werden :-)

Reviewed in Italy on January 11, 2014

Questo libro è stampato su carta da stampante, immagini a bassa risoluzione come fotocopie.
Le pagine sono così sottili che in trasparenza le immagini si sovrappongono, davanti con quelle di dietro.
La rilegatura è una vera schifezza, a colla, ho ricevuto il libro da 24 ore e alcune pagine si stanno gia staccando.
vale meno della metà del prezzo che ho pagato.
