This pastel drawing by Redon is brilliant. Once again the subject is, plonk, in the middle of the page and yet it works.What is the shell sitting on?

I have owned a small book about him for years and have largely overlooked him. This time however it was like POW look at those wonderful works. The use of colour is extraordinarily bold, it’s like they go BANG!I was also interested in some of his portraits and how he places the subject on the page.

He, in many of his sketches involved a loose painting stroke which invokes a feeling of freedom. He captures the atmosphere of his subject and you’re taken there.
