Not on view
Rodolphe Bresdin introduced Odilon Redon to lithography's potential for creating black-and-white dream worlds. In Le jour (Day), Redon treads in the literary footsteps of Charles Baudelaire and Stéphane Mallarmé , who both explored the motif of the window as a mystical portal on the inner workings of the mind.
