From the Inside Flap

Odilon Redon remains one of the central figures in nineteenth-century Word and Image studies. While his lithographs and pastels are inspired by literary themes, he also collaborated with writers, most significantly, Stéphane Mallarmé, to produce illustrated editions of their work. Moreover, his book, À soi-même constitutes a landmark in nineteenth-century autobiographical writing. While the literary aspect of Redon s work has been the focus of a body of criticism, the existence of a series of fictional writings by the painter has been overlooked.
