Pendant ce temps, chez Odilon Redon
La vie entière1867–1915
Begins the journal “To Myself”
From 1867 Redon kept a journal, “À soi-même” (“To Myself”), setting out his views on art and creation; the last entries date from 1915.
1880
Married: Camille Redon
1880s
Death of his firstborn son Jean
Redon and Camille’s firstborn son, Jean, died at six months old. The artist was so downcast that for a time he could not work; the birth of a second son in 1889 helped him recover from his grief.
1881
First exhibition of his “black” drawings
At the premises of La Vie moderne Redon exhibited all his “noir” drawings for the first time.
1884
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.
