View image and more information for Odilon Redon's original lithograph, The Art Critic, Roger Marx.

Odilon Redon (Bordeaux, 1840 - Paris, 1916): During the second half of the nineteenth century France was home to three of the most misunderstood geniuses in the history of art; the painter, Van Gogh, the etcher, Charles Meryon, and the lithographer, Odilon Redon. Each suffered from either ridicule or anonymity during most of their careers, only to be discovered by the following generations as masters of the moderns. Fortunately for Redon his discovery came while he was still alive. In 1913, when he was seventy-three, the famous Armory Show in New York presented modern French art to an astounded America. Works of art by Monet, Renoir, Picasso, Cezanne, Gauguin, Van Gogh and Matisse were all the lithographs, pastels and paintings of Odilon Redon. Works by Redon were sold in a higher percentage than those by any other exhibitor. The intensely personal art of Redon had at last been grasped with at least a partial understanding.

At seventeen, Redon was sent to Paris to prepare for a career as an architect. For a young man whose interests centered upon art, music, literature, science and nature this field of study held little fascination. He thus enrolled in the painting classes of Jean-Leon Gerome in 1864. Gerome's dry and academic style of teaching was completely alien to the temperament of Redon, however, he taught himself much more by frequenting the Louvre and studying the art of Da Vinci, Durer and Rembrandt. As well, at this time, Redon was befriended by another enigmatic genius, Rodolphe Bressdin (1822 - 1885). From Bresdin Redon learned both to etch and to make lithographs. Stylistically, Bresdin's intricate mazes of detailed imagery offered little influence to the future course of Redon's art, but Bresdin's insistence upon exploration of the artist's personal visions and dreams takes us firmly to the world of Redon. More than anything, Bresdin gave Redon the courage to follow his own feelings.

Redon's early career dealt mainly with etching and writing. It wasn't until 1879 (when he was thirty-nine) that he published his first series of lithographs, the now famous, 'Dans le Reve' ('In the Dreamworld'). The following twenty years of Redon's career mark a highpoint of lithographic art. Such marvelous series as, 'Hommage a Goya', 'La Nuit' 'A Gustave Flaubert', 'Les Fleurs du Mal' and 'l' Apocalypse de Saint-Jean' were all created in this twenty year span, as well as a number of classic, individual lithographs.

Redon's last years were given over mostly to his pastel drawings. But his genius turned to one last group of lithographs, a penetrating set of eight profile portraits which stretch over the years from 1900 to 1908. The subjects were four fellow artists, Vuillard, Bonnard, Serusier and Denis, the pianist, Ricardo Vines, the guitarist Miguel Llobet, Juliette Dodu, and the art critic, Roger Marx. Roger Marx (1859- 1913) was a very influential voice in late nineteenth century French art. He was, along with Andre Mellerio, one of the first to draw attention to the art of Odilon Redon.

These portraits, which were published by Vollard, were all printed in very small editions of twenty-five impressions or less. Each was printed on the hand-made, flecked paper that is in evidence in this impression of 'the Art Critic, Roger Marx'. For each of the portraits, after the edition was printed the stone was effaced. Thus they rank among Redon's rarest works of art These last portraits form an apotheosis to Redon's famous lithographs. They are every bit as compelling and visionary as his earlier dream-world images.

When Redon was finally discovered by the art world the Symbolist Movement embraced his work. A generation later, the Surrealists claimed him as their greatest precursor. Redon, however, would have nothing to do with such groups;

He was the original great 'loner'. He can certainly be studied as an example of his generation of artistic talents but must never be categorized with them as a 'symbolist', a 'naturalist', or an 'impressionist'. Odilon Redon was unique; his dream-world, his personal vision, a place that was his alone.

View images, more information and other original works of art by Thomas Rowlandson.

Thomas Rowlandson (London, 1756 - 1827): Along with Hogarth, Gillray and Cruikshank, Thomas Rowlandson is at the uppermost peak of English satirical art. Amongst these masters, however, Rowlandson was the most gifted artist and his compositions seemed the closest to the truth for he often lived the dissipated style of life he so memorably satirized. Studying art in both Paris and London, Rowlandson began his career as a portrait painter. By 1782, however, he devoted himself almost exclusively to his first love; caricature and satirical art. After receiving a large inheritance, Rowlandson quickly gambled it away. Losing his fortune at a thirty-six hour card game he is known to have exclaimed, "I've played the fool, but (holding up his pencils) here is my resource."

Working with such publishers as Flores and Thomas Tegg, Rowlandson designed many memorable satires. In the book arts he collaborated with the famous London publisher, Rudolph Ackermann, to produce some of the finest satirical volumes in the history of art. These included The Microcosm of London (1808), the Tour of Dr. Syntax in Search of the Picturesque (1812) and The English Dance of Death, published in two volumes in 1815 and 1816.
