Odilon Redon

Self-Portrait (1880)

Born on 22 April 1840: Odilon Redon, French Symbolist painter and lithographer who died on 06 July 1916. — An artist of considerable poetic sensitivity and imagination, Redon developed his work along two divergent lines. His prints explore haunting, fantastic, and sometimes macabre themes and foreshadowed the Surrealist and Dadaist movements. His oils and pastels, chiefly still lifes with flowers, won him the admiration of Henri Matisse and other painters as an important colorist.
