Odilon Redon: His Palette Details
Odilon Redon was a French symbolist painter, printmaker, draughtsman and pastellist. He describes his work as ambiguous and indefinable: "My drawings inspire, and are not to be defined. They place us, as does music, in the ambiguous realm of the undetermined." Redon's work represents an exploration of his internal feelings and psyche. He himself wanted to "place the visible at the service of the invisible"; thus, although his work seems filled with strange beings and grotesque dichotomies, his aim was to represent pictorially the ghosts of his own mind.

Reviews
No, no, no! Let me save you from this! Poor quality pictures that you could print off of any office printer. Many pages have nearly half of the area blank white with small, small details of images. This book would have been a wonderful opportunity to show full page reproductions. There is virtually no text to speak of so you are left to discover Redon's palette on your own. That's fine, but what a waste of paper. Nothing worth owning!!! Really, don't. If the editor had only put one full-size image per page, it could have been useful.
