Odilon Redon: Literature and MusicOdilon Redon: Literature and Music

Published by nai010 publishers.
Edited with text by Cornelia Homburg. Text by Dario Gamboni, Ted Gott, Jean-David Jumeau-Lafond, Martha Lucy, Line Clausen Pedersen.

French artist Odilon Redon (1840–1916) was a painter, lithographer, draftsman and pastellist, as well as a writer, critic and musician. This wide-ranging production between mediums and materials paralleled Redon's fascination with synaesthesia, the idea that an experience can be registered by several senses simultaneously, and that the experience could be more intense when several senses are solicited together—a phenomenon which captured the imaginations of many symbolists.

To this end, Redon sought to interweave the expressive powers of literature, music and the visual arts together in works that combined and confused the senses. Next to literary themes and subjects linked to classical drama, Redon was particularly inspired by Richard Wagner's and Robert Schumann's music, among others.

With more than 200 illustrations of works largely in private collections and held in the Kröller-Müller Museum, and with essays by renowned experts on Redon and symbolism, this book provides extensive insight into the importance of literature and music in Redon's oeuvre. Addressing some of Redon's favorite themes in abundant visual detail, Odilon Redon: Literature and Music shows how the artist transposed literary and musical motifs in his work, and how he reinvented such themes over and over again to create new associations and meanings.

Odilon RedonOdilon Redon

Published by Hatje Cantz.
Text by Raphaël Bouvier, Jodi Hauptman, Margret Stuffmann.

Odilon Redon’s oeuvre marks the threshold between the nineteenth and the twentieth centuries, and thus also represents the interplay between tradition and innovation. Fractures and contrasts characterize his artistic development, from the black-and-white of his early, dark lithographs and works in charcoal to the veritable explosions of color in his bright pastels and oils. Bizarre monsters appear alongside heavenly creatures in a blend of dream and nightmare, nature and vision. Tending toward internalization, the mythic, sacred and biological motifs in Redon’s works underwent a turn toward the mystical, not only on account of his subject matter, but also through the aesthetic aspects of color and form. Greatly admired by contemporaries such as Paul Cézanne and Edgar Degas, Redon influenced artists such as Pierre Bonnard, Henri Matisse and Marcel Duchamp, as well as the Surrealists. The artist’s brilliant ideas and his contextually, technically and materially multifaceted body of work are presented in this catalogue.
Born in France to a prosperous family, Odilon Redon (1840–1916) began drawing at an early age and moved to Paris after unsuccessful forays into architecture and sculpture. Redon began his career working primarily in charcoal and lithography, before transitioning to oils and pastels in the 1890s. With his keen interest in literature, Redon found champions and collaborators in Joris-Karl Huysmans, Emile Hennequin and, most significantly, the Symbolist poet Stéphane Mallarmé. Redon’s work achieved international renown after being exhibited at the American Armory Show in 1913.

Beyond The Visible: The Art Of Odilon RedonBeyond The Visible: The Art Of Odilon Redon

Published by The Museum of Modern Art, New York.
Essay by Jodi Hauptman.

Caught between description and dream, the felt and the imagined, French artist Odilon Redon, whose career bridged the nineteenth and twentieth 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 black or colored swirls of atmosphere. With a recent gift from the Ian Woodner family, The Museum of Modern Art is now the site of the most significant body of the artist's work outside France, and this book will showcase the full range of Redon's varied oeuvre--charcoal “noirs,” luminous pastels, richly textured canvases, literary collaborations and experiments in printmaking--and will illuminate the hold his particular kind of Modernism has had on both twentieth-century and contemporary artists.
