Ludmil Angelov Plays Chopin
“Drawing with the vivid tints of his pastel sticks, Redon imbued the present Fleurs with an abundance of ecstatic lyricism that transcends the representation of natural appearances, to a degree characteristically his own, but until then unprecedented in the traditions of this genre. The artist regales the viewer with exquisite hybrids of his own imagining—“choice…

Dunja Bontek Plays Mozart
“Redon’s flower paintings, both in oil and pastel, provided a welcome respite from the fantastic but often bizarre and darkly troubling visions that had preoccupied him in his earlier works, especially those charcoal drawings he called his noirs and similar lithographs. “All tensions relaxed… The demons have retired,” Klaus Berger observed (Odilon Redon, New York,…

Fuchs: Clarinet Chamber Music
‘”I am still wrapped up in flowers, underwater dramas, among those beings which might exist. Painting, with its limitless resources, is an infinitely enjoyable art. I believe that I can make continual progress with it, right to the end [of my life]. The results I achieve at the moment torment me much less’ (Redon, quoted…
Odilon Redon – And a Little Beethoven
“Phaéton is a stunning example of Symbolist painting by one of the period’s great talents: Odilon Redon…Phaeton was the son of the sun-god Helios whose chariot pulled the Sun across the sky. Phaeton, young and impulsive, demanded to try to drive the chariot but the pull was too strong and the chariot crashed into earth. In order…
Biagio Marini: Passacaglia in G Minor
“La barque aux deux femmes blanches is an iconic Redon seascape, the figures seemingly rapt in pensive silence, immersed in the radiance of inward visions, transported to distant unknowable realms on spectral currents of dream…Through his use of vibrant tints of color, he made the mainstay of his new work a brilliant, otherworldly fluorescence of…

Odilon Redon: Le pavot noir (c1905)
“…Le pavot noir emerged during a key period of transition in Odilon Redon’s career, as he focused increasingly on floral still-lifes in his work, using their luscious blooms to explore the power of color. Echoing the natural arrangement of wild blossoms in a meadow, the bouquets favored by the artist embodied the essential beauty of…
Anto Carte: L’Enfant Roi (1919)

Odilon Redon: Christ et ses disciples (c1905)
“The present work draws on the theme of discipleship and the divine nature of Christ rather than a specific episode of the New Testament.

Odilon Redon: Profil sous une arche
“Associated with the Symbolist movement, the art of Odilon Redon demonstrates a superb mastery of the pastel technique which draws it source from French 18th century art. The Impressionist painters such as Manet or Degas revived this medium, but Redon then developed a particular style which evoked a world inhabited by a deep sense of…
Odilon Redon: Vision sous-marine (c1904)
“In 1904 Redon began a small, innovative series of oils and pastels known as the “Wonders of the Sea,” having found his inspiration for these visions in Gustave Flaubert’s La Tentation de Saint-Antoine (1874), which itself was inspired by the fantastic paintings of Pieter Brueghel the Elder…Redon had previously produced lithographs based on the story…
