Odilon Redon: Prince of Dreams, 1840-1916.
New York, NY: The Art Institute of Chicago and Harry N. Abrams, 1996. Second Printing. Hardcover. Large Quarto. (12 1/4 x 10 inches). 472pp, Blue cloth with gilt titling to spine and blind stamping to front cover. Generously illustrated with 575 reproductions, including 200 full colour plates. From the publisher: "The work of French Symbolist painter Odilon Redon (1840-1916) has long been seen as a direct link between the nineteenth century and the development of modern art. Published in conjunction with the first major retrospective of Redon's work, this volume provides new information about the artist's life and oeuvre, establishing a radically new picture of his artistic and intellectual development, as well as his relationship to his own time." A massive, beautifully produced, superbly illustrated volume. A touch of shelf-wear to the bottom edge of the boards, otherwise appears unread. Thus a bright, clean, near-Fine copy in near-Fine dust jacket (the dust jacket has just a touch of shelf-rubbing). A heavy and oversized book which will require extra shipping, the exact amount dependent upon the destination. Item #74487
