Redon’s Secret Flower Garden
Odilon Redon (1840-1916) was a French painter and printmaker, and one of the most important of the symbolist painters. The first half of his career was devoted to creating works in black and white, with many dreamlike and fantastical images. Later on he experimented with colors, exploring their suggestive powers. Many of these works feature still life floral images and portraits. It’s works from this later stage that Mitsubishi Ichigokan Museum Tokyo will exhibit. Approximately 90 paintings have been sourced from Musée d’Orsay in Paris, Musée des Beaux-Arts de Bordeaux, and other notable art museums from across the globe. ,
