Lumi猫re: Lithographs By Odilon Redon
Sep 22, 2009 - Jan 10, 2010
The French Symbolist artist Odilon Redon (1840-1916) wrote: 鈥橫y art is limited to the simple resources of light and darkness鈥�. This exhibition, organised in association with the Cambridge Festival of Light, focuses on Redon鈥檚 expressive and symbolic use of light, and features many of his most significant and experimental lithographs, all from the Museum鈥檚 collection. Redon worked exclusively in black and white for many years, producing works that he called his 鈥檔oirs鈥�. The combination of luminous black lithographic ink and glowing paper proved the perfect medium for his mysterious and powerful images. This display includes two series based on Flaubert鈥檚 novel The Temptation of Saint Anthony, as well as stand-alone works such as the beautiful and enigmatic Profil de Lumi猫re.
