John Talbott's Paris: Redon at the Grand Palais; not my cuppa'

Redon at the Grand Palais; not my cuppa'

Odilon Redon is not my favorite artist of either the 19th or 20th century, although I have a print on the wall at home of a red boat with blue sails done in 1906-07, that I clearly love. But in the spirit of "if there's a blockbuster show in town, one really should go," I went.

Well it seems I'm not the only one for whom Redon is not a god; there was no line at the Big Palace and one could see the paintings - both maybe firsts for me.

A minus wow.
