Odilon Redon, the Crying Spider, 1881, lithograph. Redon produced a series of dark and fantastical lithographs which were called his Noirs. They reflected Redon’s fantasies and psychologically conjured up dreamlike images. They were born from his fascination with Freud and the study of dreams as well as his interest in science and nature. What emerged from Redon’s vibrant imagination are intimate and exuberant pictures which pushed the boundaries of art and subject matter. -- source link
