Gathers Redon's pastel portraits, flower pictures, and religious works, and shares his comments on art
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Redon, famous for the enigmatic images of his lithographs and paintings, also excelled in the art of pastels. Bacou presents us with a handsome collection of those pastels and in an essay discusses how the artist gradually abandoned the dark mystery of charcoal for the richness of color obtainable with pastels. Bacou includes Redon's own comments on his pastels, including his essay "Confessions of an Artist." Redon's essay, Bacou's scholarly commentary, and the 70 color plates combine to enlarge our appreciation for Redon's visual meditations on beauty. Art historians and collectors will appreciate the high quality of this lavish volume. Douglas G. Campbell, Warner Pacific Coll., Portland, Ore.
