About this Item

square PAPERBACK, broad fold mark on top front corner of cover, lesser on first few pages, otherwise very good copy. REDON, ODILON. Odilon Redon: I am the first consciousness of chaos : the black album. Edited by Candice Black. Solar Books, 2010, 208pp., . SOLAR NOCTURNAL. - "I am the first consciousness of chaos collects the key "noirs"-- Lithographs, etchings and charcoals -- of Odilon Redon, perhaps the most enigmatic and esoteric works in the artistic lineage that leads directly from Symbolism to Surrealism. Never previously available in a single trade volume, the majority of Redon's noirs -- over 250 illustrations -- are finally collated here, along with illuminating excerpts from the decadent texts which inspired their creation. Authors featured include J-K Huysmans, Gustave Flaubert, Charles Baudelaire, Edward Bulwer-Lytton, St. John the Divine, Edgar Allan Poe and others; the book also includes an autobiographical introductory essay by Redon himself."-- CONTENTS: Odilon Redon: confessions of an artist -- Apparition/Nude (1866); The haunting (1867); The head of John the Baptist (1868); Primitive man (1872); Eyes in the forest (1875); Devil carrying a head; Two heads Lazarus rising; Melancholy; Primitive being; The head of Goliath (1876); Satan; Head of a martyr; Satan holds the world in dominion; Angel and demon (1877); The Celt; Guardian spirit of the waters; The sphere; A severed head speaks; Exterminating angel (1878); In dreams (series); Witch's cauldron (1879); Dream vision nchimera; The well; The torch; Skeleton man; Faust and Mephistopheles head wreathed in thorns; Hatching; Evil spirits of the mud the prisoner; Strange flower Medusa; Man in the window; Face behind bars; The haunted mirror The Man-tree The eye; Gnome (Crouching Caliban); Gnome (1880); The eye; Caliban; The condemned man; The crying spider; The smiling spider; Imaginary figure; Cactus man; Chimera Diogenes; Philosophy After the execution; Meteor Marsh flower; Drowning glory; Figure with skull and book Head of Orpheus (1881); The raven Lenore and the raven; To Edgar Allan Poe (series); Two skeletons (1882); Centaur aiming at the clouds; The origins (series); Chimera; Madness or Mephistopheles; Masque of the Red Death; The teeth (Vision of Berenice); Nightmare; Apparition; The Tell-tale heart; The Sphinx (1883); Small winged head in the dark; Centaurs (1884); The prophet; Marsh flower; Homage to Goya (series); The egg; I am the first consciousness of chaos; Ectasy; False glory (1884); Profile of light; Night (series); The dream destroyed by death; Density; Cain against Abel (1886); The heart has its reasons; Christ; The idol; Dark peak; LeJure (series) (1887); Des esseintes; The temptation of Saint Antony (first series); Blossoming face (1888); Druidess; To Gustave Flaubert (second series of Saint Antony); Pegasus captured; les Chimeres; Les Debacles; La damnation de l'artiste; El Moghreb al Aksa (1889); Germination; les Flambeaux Noirs; Les fleurs du mal (series); Woman and serpent (mystery); Don Quixote; Serpent-Halo (1890); Dreams (series); Perversity; The armour; Passage of a soul; Dream polyp (1891); Saint George and the dragon; Druid priestess; Les Tenebres (1892); The wing; Light; Auricular cell (1893); Obsession; The celestial art (1894); Buddha; Luminous flower; Apparition; The crucifixion (1895); Chimera [chaos]; The Temptation of Saint Antony (third series); The haunted house (series); Man watching ghost (1896); Time (1897); Revelation of St. John the Divine (1899).
