Odilon Redon

Archive · 1840–1916 Bordeaux, France

Placing the visible at the service of the invisible.

French Symbolist painter, printmaker and draughtsman, born in Bordeaux in 1840. For the first half of his career Redon worked almost only in black — charcoal drawings and lithographs he called his "noirs": floating eyes, winged heads, spiders with human faces, creatures from dreams rather than the world. After 1890 his work broke into colour, in pastels and oils of flowers, myths and luminous profiles. He died in Paris in 1916. We keep him in the Archives because so much of what our artists make — the strange, the tender, the half-seen — walks through a door he opened.
