It was in France and Belgium, the cradles of literary Symbolism, that Symbolist painting was born. It plunged headlong into the cultural space opened up by the poetry of Baudelaire and Mallarmé and by the operas of Wagner. Symbolist painters sought not to represent appearances but to express "the Idea," and the imaginary therefore plays an important part in their work. "Dream" was their credo; they execrated, with a fanatical hatred, impressionism, realism, naturalism, and the scientistic. The main principle of Symbolism, that of "correspondences," was to attain harmony between all the different arts, or even to realise the total work of art (Gesamtkunstwerk) that Wagner had dreamt of creating. What we rediscover today, after a period of neglect, is this: Symbolist painting is essential to our understanding of modern art, not only because it spread across the world like wildfire, creating disciples from Russia to the United States, from Northern Europe to the Mediterranean, but because it was the source of a series of mutations without which modern art would not be what it is.

Con sus imágenes oníricas, sus espléndidas texturas y su sugerente uso del color, la estrella del simbolista Odilon Redon buscó un equivalente pictórico a su propia psique. Ya sea en sus sombrías primeras obras o en lienzos mas livianos, fue, sobre todo, un artista de estados mentales con considerable influencia en el postimpresionismo.Uno de los principales artistas del simbolismo, Odilon Redon (1840-1916) fue tambien un pintor de extremos escenicos y emocionales. Hasta 1890 aproximadamente, el artista era conocido en exclusiva por sus obras en blanco y negro. Estos cuadros negros eran litografias y dibujos al carboncillo poblados por criaturas fantasticas y aterradoras en una paleta de colores lugubres. Los tonos pastel, sin embargo, fueron abriendose paso poco a poco por su obra y, con ellos, surgieron temas nuevos y menos sombrios. Las flores se convirtieron en un motivo recurrente. Donde otrora se alzaron simbolos de melancolia, ahora se abrian paso caballos y mariposas de alas batientes.Si bien este lirismo y armonia de la ultima etapa de Redon contrasta vivamente con su melancolia anterior, sus principios rectores seguian poniendo lo visible al servicio de lo invisible. Mediante una imagineria onirica, unas texturas suntuosas y un sugestivo uso del color, Redon busco crear un equivalente pictorico de su propio espiritu. Fue sobre todo un artista que plasmaba estados de animo, tanto los malos presagios como la alegria, y que ejercio una considerable influencia en el posimpresionismo que vendria despues.Sobre la serieCada libro de la Basic Art Series de TASCHEN incluye:un detallado sumario cronologico de la vida y obra del artista en el que se aborda su importancia historica y cultural;una concisa biografia;aproximadamente 100 ilustraciones en color con comentarios explicativos.
