Odilon Redon
(1840 - 1916)
 
Odilon Redon was a French Symbolist draftsman, printmaker, and painter. Redon is perhaps best known today for the dreamlike paintings created in the first decade of the 20th century, which were inspired by Japanese art and leaned toward abstraction. His work is considered a precursor to Surrealism.
