Lot Essay

Although the imprint indicates an edition of fifty, Mellerio notes an edition of 25 impressions only.

`These drawings passed all bounds, transgressing in a thousand ways the established laws of pictorial art, utterly fantastic and revolutionary, the work of a mad and morbid genius’.(A description of Odilon Redon’s lithographs, in: Joris-Karl Huysman, A Rebours, 1884).
