Artist Biography: Symbolist painter, lithographer, and etcher. An artist of considerable poetic sensitivity and imagination, his work developed along two divergent lines. His prints explore haunting, fantastic, and sometimes macabre themes and foreshadowed the Surrealist and Dadaist movements. His oils and pastels, chiefly still lifes with flowers, won him the admiration of Henri Matisse and other painters as an important colorist.~~Reference: Mellerio, AndrÈ. Odilon Redon.
