Odilon Redon’s work can be divided into two phases — the first one black, the second one in color. We have already showed you the miserable The Crying Spider from his black phase; now it's time for the color. From 1890, the artist switched to more majestic and colorful styles in pastels and oils, creating fantasy worlds of monsters, angels, women, and flowers. Redon said: "True art is art that is felt" — so please, feel the Muse on Pegasus and enjoy this fairy world.
