Meanwhile, in the life of Odilon Redon
The whole life1884
Huysmans’s novel “Against Nature” makes him known
After the publication of Joris-Karl Huysmans’s novel “À rebours” in 1884 the public began to take an interest in Redon: the book’s hero assembled a collection of art that included Redon’s drawings.
1886
The eighth Impressionist exhibition
Redon took part in the eighth and last Impressionist exhibition.
from 1890
The turn from “noirs” to colour
From 1890 Redon turned more and more to oil and pastel and gave up his “black” works; after 1900 he made no more noirs. He explained the change by saying he had realised that the unwinding ribbon of life brings not only sorrow but joy.
1899
The exhibition “In Honour of Redon” at Durand-Ruel’s
Paul Durand-Ruel organised an exhibition of young artists called “In Honour of Redon” which included Redon’s own pastels. The master’s finances nonetheless stayed difficult: his works did not sell.
1906
Exhibitions at Durand-Ruel’s and the Salon d’Automne
In 1906 Redon’s works were shown at Durand-Ruel’s gallery and, the same year, at the Salon d’Automne.
