Ted Gott traces Redon's lonely youth in the South of France, his experience of the Franco-Prussian War, and his gradual emergence within avant-garde literary and artistic circles in Paris. Redon's involvement with occult, Symbolist, and Wagnerian circles, alongside his late renaissance as a master of decoration and color, is brought into focus with clarity and nuance. Particular attention is given to the artist's remarkable technical command of charcoal drawing and lithography, illuminated through the lens of abundant press commentary and correspondence. Ted Gott's book restores Redon as a singular, restless presence in modern art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ted Gott\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1836392702\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781836392705\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Reaktion Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/27\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 552\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs","brand":"Ted Gott","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48520605958399,"sku":"9781836392705","price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0e69746e-8019-4493-a2f6-4c3a55f953dc.jpg?v=1778742385","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/aiming-for-the-stars-ted-gott-9781836392705","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
