Virtual Art Appreciation Quiet Dreams: The Landscapes of Odilon Redon with Luc Travers Sunday, May 16, 2:30-4 PM CAM Members: $12; Non-Members: $15
Odilon Redon (1840 - 1916, France) sought meaning and melancholy in his own imaginative landscapes. These scenes borrowed from mythology, religion, and his visions manifested themselves in distinctively quiet dreamscapes. We'll explore how he takes a genre that usually asks you to look out at the world, and, instead, uses it to capture his own, quiet imagination.
