Artists
Odilon Redon, Gustave Moreau, Henri Jean Théodore Fantin-Latour, Paul Gauguin, Maurice Denis, Emile Bernard, Edvard Munch
At a time when the Impressionists were concerned with how to portray landscapes and physical states of the outside world, the symbolist painter Odilon Redon (1840-1916) instead turned inwards to explore the infinite possibilities presented by his dreams. This exhibition offers viewers an overview of Redon’s fantastical visions through a selection of 130 works that also include pieces by artists who were profoundly influenced by him, such as Maurice Denis and Emile Bernard.
A particular highlight is the first public viewing of “Grand Bouquet”, his largest pastel painting that was recently acquired from an old chateau in France.
