Introduction
Redon began his career as a draftsman in charcoal (which he called his 'Noirs'), and lithographer, working almost exclusively with black, but after 1900 he began to explore new motifs, flowers becoming a favored subject, rendered in vivid color in oils and pastel. After 1886, when the term was defined, Redon was considered to be a paragon of Symbolist visual art.
