Haunting and Timeless
Bought as a gift for my husband after I discovered Redon randomly. Incredibly pleased with the quality of images and page thickness/glossing. Haunting and timeless imagery

Giant Disappointment!
I'm a new admirer of Redon. I was truly excited to get this book so I could pour over the many bizarre and beautiful images I would find within it's pages. I cannot tell you how disappointed I am with the poor quality of reproductions. It's a cheap book, I get it---but wow. The image quality is about as good a 10 cent black and white copy you'd get from the library copy machine. The delicacy is missing. The luminous quality which makes his work so stunning, brilliant, and unearthly is completely absent. I guess what was most disappointing is how vacant and lifeless the work appears. I really can't believe it.Even though there aren't a lot of books available on Redon, but I'm pretty certain this particular one will be returned. I find no joy looking through it. I should have known better than to purchase a $15 art book. I have ordered, but have yet to receive, the Redon book "As In Dream" and here's hoping it's not a let down, too.

Late 19th Century French Symbolist Graphic Works
Odilon Redon's graphic works are eerie yet beautiful. Many are in the public domain and you may have seen some already (think hot air balloon with an eyeball searching upward). His artistry is a combination of a lonely childhood filled with enormous rooms and heavy drapery, and a desire to draw what the Romantics were writing about. His work is dark but joyful. Many references to the saints and Christianity, but that was the world he lived in. Overall, a treasure to own, occasionally peruse and learn from. If you like smiling spiders this book is for you.

The book was informative but the printing did not do justice to Odilon Redons work

Redons Zeichnungen
Der (nur kurze) Text ist in englisch. Dafür bekommt man 209 (!) Redon-Zeichnungen vom feinsten :-)Wer den Künstler mag, der bekommt hier die maximale Sammlung an Redons Meisterwerken zum wirklich kleinen Preis - Alle Abbildungen gehören in die Rubrick "schwarz", und sind eine (träumerische) Augenweide in guter Qualität.Das Buch ist ein Taschenbuch, aber es hält das Blättern und Stöbern aus.Also kann es wärmstens empfohlen werden :-)

Not good
Questo libro è stampato su carta da stampante, immagini a bassa risoluzione come fotocopie.Le pagine sono così sottili che in trasparenza le immagini si sovrappongono, davanti con quelle di dietro.La rilegatura è una vera schifezza, a colla, ho ricevuto il libro da 24 ore e alcune pagine si stanno gia staccando.vale meno della metà del prezzo che ho pagato.

うらやまし文化
このような誰が買うのかわからないような書籍を海外では、販売している。これはうらやましい文化です。私はギターに関係しているので、ルドンの作品の中にリョベートの肖像画があるのは興味深かった。悪趣味にはまらない、程度の良好なグロッタ的な作品は快感ですね。ルドンと出版社にお礼を言いたいです。ありがとう 五つ星!
