| Apart from some unsuccessful early attempts at landscape painting, Redon (1840-1916) worked almost exclusively in black and white until he reached the age of 50. He produced many strange, evocative charcoal drawings that he called his 'noirs' ('black things'). A spider with a human face lodged in the centre of its body. Then there were charcoal sketches which delved even deeper into the terrors of fever-ridden dreams. Here, on an enormous die, a melancholy eyelid winked. Location is The British museum. | |
