Odilon Redon: A collection of 684 works (HD)

Odilon Redon: A collection of 684 works (HD)
Description: "Odilon Redon was a symbolist painter, lithographer, and etcher of considerable poetic sensitivity and imagination, whose work has had many admirers’ over the years including artists such as Henri Matisse. The Surrealists regarded Odilon Redon as one of their greatest predecessors. Odilon Redon was born in Bordeaux in 1840 and studied drawing early on under an artist named Stanislas Gorin, who introduced Redon to the principles of Romantic art. Upon finishing school, Odilon Redon failed to be accepted for the architectural class of the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris and therefore remained in Bordeaux where he took up sculpture.
Around 1861, Odilon Redon was introduced to the writings of Flaubert, Baudelaire and Edgar Allen Poe, three authors who would be greatly influential on his drawings. In 1864, however, he was accepted to the Ecole des Beaux Arts to study painting. The art establishment represented values he couldn't tolerate and he backed away from the system consigning himself to obscurity. Odilon Redon found guidance instead from Rodolphe Bresdin who had also rejected the official art world. He introduced him to Rembrandt and Dürer and taught him how nature can be utterly transformed by the broadness of one's imagination. So Odilon Redon turned to graphic art, working mainly in black and white, giving expression to the mysterious and the fantastic.
His artistic career was interrupted in 1870 when he joined the army to serve in the Franco-Prussian War. At the end of the war, he moved to Paris, working almost exclusively in charcoal and lithography. It would not be until 1878 that his work gained any recognition with Guardian Spirit of the Waters, and he published his first album of lithographs, titled Dans le Rêve, in 1879. Still, Odilon Redon remained relatively unknown until the appearance in 1884 of a cult novel by Joris-Karl Huysmans titled, rebours (Against Nature). The story featured a decadent aristocrat who collected his drawings.
After recovering from a religious crisis and major illness in the 1890s, Odilon Redon's outlook became much more optimistic. The sombre tones were replaced by bright colours and scenes of idealistic beauty often taking mythological themes as his inspiration. In 1899, he exhibited with the Nabis at Durand-Ruel's. In 1903 he was awarded the Legion of Honor. His popularity increased when a catalogue of etchings and lithographs was published by Andre Mellerio in 1913 and that same year, he was given the largest single representation at the New York Armory Show. In 1923, Mellerio published: Odilon Redon: Peintre Dessinateur et Graveur.
He died in 1916. In 2005 the Museum of Modern Art launched an exhibition entitled "Beyond The Visible", a comprehensive overview of Redon's work showcasing more than 100 paintings, drawings, prints and books from The Ian Woodner Family Collection. The exhibition ran from October 30, 2005 to January 23, 2006. "...The artist... will always be a special, isolated, solitary agent, with an innate sense of organising matter." Odilon Redon."

I love Odilon Redon; but I had no idea he was so prolific. This is cornucopia of delight and sheer amazement. A unique, brilliant in every way and completely original talent.

[@matthewkolonics1392]

His art is just so timeless it’s beautiful

[@bode7164]

What a treat, thank you, I'll be watching many of these well made presentations. Why Redon is not more known is strange. He's one of my favorites. A bit like the grandfather of surrealism. His book "to myself" is like his paintings, he writes about his inner life a lot. It's like a confidence, from a very gentle and evolved man.

[@jademcqueen5474]

I absolutely LOVE the music, it has been used many times in film to represent a funeral or death but that is a part of life, without life there is no death. I love the track

[@tomripsin730]

God I love this stuff. I'd never heard of this artist before. The subject matter and wonderfully soft, subtle use of color is amazing.

[@koenraad4618]

684 masterpieces. The Cyclops at the Kröller Müller museum is the first Redon painting I ever saw, I was so impressed by it that I forgot all the Van Goghs in the same museum right away. One of the best artists who ever walked the earth.

[@miriamg8899]

Que maravillosa presentación de la galería de arte de.Odilon Redon,con ese estupendo fondo musical,muchas gracias.

[@magicknight13]

Thank you for putting this together and sharing this! I love Redon's art, especially his Noirs

[@sonny_coates]

Great collection..but an HOUR of The Chopin funeral march??? Nooooooo... why?

[@anneboissier9687]

Je suis d''accord , la marche funèbre de Chopin n'est pas du meilleur goût! Ses bouquets de fleurs et ses figures symboliques, une merveille!

[@archadeinteriors]

Because you don't need music for videos...turn it to mute and appreciate the art

[@andrewweber2010]

@@archadeinteriors That's what I did.

[@janerune6460]

a really remarkable artist and vast collection. thanks

[@antoniagheno9208]

Merveilleux ! Je suis très sensible au génie de ce peintre....Merci pour cette très belle vidéo, un régal

[@aryehfinklestein9041]

Thankyou for this - among my favorite artists. But ( as others have asked below ) why the lugubrious accompaniment?!

[@yann9139]

c'est un peintre spécial mais surtout un géant, le Maître de sa folie.

[@marcajohnson6229]

this is not a snail's pace but strides so long they take forever.

[@marcajohnson6229]

you are th shoehorn of a certain future, that of drawing, th universal language. I've seen more greatness these last 4 days w/you than being and thinking of myself as an artist 40+ years. The drip will become a torrent. Every entry level, all focussing on great pleasure. Shoehorn my eye!

[@esperanzafernandez2228]

Me encantó! Muchas gracias por este excelente trabajo.

[@cojamescojames4762]

Such a different handling of pastel than Degas

[@gabchaim8232]

Musical choice of Chopin's Marche Funebre sort of suggestive. Don't know if she'd like it.

[@MattTee1234]

One glaring oversight... Guardian Spirit of the Waters isn’t in the slideshow?? It’s the work that you attribute to Redon’s success and fame, but I watched the whole hour + and it’s not in there :(

[@eckmondo]

Dream and undream; far and near; wisps and wonder.

[@sabrinanascimento5248]

Awesome paintings and colors.Music sounds like Georg.

Chopin, aah, la cantiléne avant l´adieu final au Pére Lachaise, pas mal...

[@OzneOllen]

Thank you for what you do

[@paulkesler1744]

A strange and bifurcated mind. Did the flora spring from a poisoned unconscious or did the horrors "flower" from the crockery and scuttle off on their own? Maybe both. It's a complicated matter, since with most artists, whenever horror and efflorescence appear, they're paradoxically "conjoined" --- take Bosch's "Garden of Earthly Delights," Baudelaire's "Les Fleurs du mal," or Hawthorne's "Rappaccini's Daughter." By contrast, the dark and light sides of Odilon's mind seemed highly compartmentalized and only occasionally shook hands. Whatever the psychological underpinnings, the results were fascinating.

[@sparklinglotus]

Names of the paintings?

[@neoaureus]

Seems like a crazy guy who found solace in painting flowers....

[@sabrinanascimento1267]

With this music makes me feel I better get a shovel and dig my own grave. What a bleak prospect.

[@cojamescojames4762]

I like the art I like the music

[@billsanchez3527]

the music does not give credit at all to this masterpiece!!!!

'After recovering from a religious crisis...' Anybody know anything about that?

Feels like a funeral

Nice collection of paintings but what a terrible choice of music. Seriously, over an hour of Chopin's funeral march. Could you not take a little more time over the music?

[@cheguevara8684]

High quality reproductions and a lot of week works, among few charming...

[@estherreina4254]

Muy mal escogida la musica
