Odilon Redon (1840-1917)

[LCR]

Odilon Redon - of special artists, visionaries, artists, artists, outsiders. He is from a family of Blake and Piranesi, their realm - the realm of dreams and journeys, prisons, causing the reaction of claustrophobia and prairie paradise. Their kingdom populated by beautiful fairies and evil monsters, crying or laughing, spiders, people, cacti, flowers with a sweet little baby face, colorful butterflies, fallen angels, mythical Cyclops, and the pagan gods and goddesses, stednevekovymi hermits, and demonic temptress tempting poor elders .. .
It is artists who can be said to operate out of schools, directions, and movements. On Mysticism and tightness claim very many people - even here in this forum are precedents - Apollinaris, a few more, do not remember how they were called, well, now - absolutely inimitable Mr. Saran (because after all, I have not messed up?), But really such artists - one-and two's all. They say that a mystic can be, they need to be born.

Not that I was a fan of this particular art, but the power of imagination, Redon, coupled with his refined sense of color and elegance of its design can not leave indifferent.
Consider a Nabidam Redon can only conditionally - he was an artist, a loner. However, for ease of classification, assimilating it with the artist-prophets, I am sure that hurt us, he is not hiding.
