Odilon Redon L'expo: Prince Du Rêve 1840-1916 by Odilon Redon

Published on the occasion of the largest ever Odilon Redon retrospective, held at the Grand Palais in Paris in the spring of 2011, this chunky but pocketbook-size paperback volume reproduces all 256 artworks included in the landmark exhibition. It begins with Redon's "Self-Portrait" of 1867 and then examines his famous suites of lithographs, including Dans le Reve and the classic illustrations to Poe, Huysmans and Flaubert. All of the great pastels and oils are here, in full color, as well as lesser-known works like painted screens; throughout, each of the works is accompanied by the captions used in the exhibition, which provide details of provenance and, where relevant, edition size.
