This small exhibition presents two late nineteenth-century print series: Odilon Redon’s The Temptation of Saint Anthony, inspired by Gustave Flaubert’s poetic novel, and Max Klinger’s A Glove—a dreamlike visual narrative about a man obsessed by a woman’s glove. A French artist, Redon was an adherent of the Symbolist movement, which sought to express experience through suggestive language and poetic symbols. Klinger, a German artist not directly associated with the core group of Symbolist artists, was profoundly influenced by the basic precepts of their art. The work of these visionary artists foreshadows the art of the twentieth-century Surrealists. |
