About the Item

La Tentation de St. Antoine is an original modern rare book illustrated by Odilon Redon (Bordeaux, 1840 - Paris, France) and written by various authors in 1896 . Published by Ambroise Vollard, Paris. Original Edition. Edition of Fifty specimens. Format: in Folio. Top rare copy, which includes 24 lithographs signed in pencil; hand written quotes in pencil; binding by Thierry St. de Petit-Simier. Mint conditions. Odilon Redon (Bordeaux, 1840 - Paris, France). Redon's far-reaching influence falls into two categories corresponding to the two main threads in his oeuvre: his extraordinarily vivid and colorful late paintings and pastels, and his earlier noirs. For the Nabis, it was Redon's free and expressive use of color that would have the most impact. Maurice Denis credited Redon with advancing the spiritual evolution of his own art, while Pierre Bonnard said of Redon, "All of our generation fell under his charm and received his advice." Later, Henri Matisse acknowledged the influence of Redon's pastels on his own colorful Fauvist palette. But the impact of Redon's noirs on modern art was perhaps even more profound, for in them we find his greatest originality and inventiveness. The Surrealists were particularly taken with the dreamlike quality of those charcoals and lithographs, and André Breton, their de-facto leader, was a particularly great admirer. A key part of Redon's influence was the suggestiveness of his art - rather than describing things for us, the viewer participates actively in interpreting the work.
