La Première Conscience du Chaos - Lithograph after Odilon Redon - 1923

1923

About the Item

La Première Conscience Du Chaos is a lithograph realized after Odilon Redon. It belongs to the suite "Odilon Redon Peintre, Dessinateur et Graveur", published by Henri Felury in 1923. Good conditions, foxing on margins. 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.
