Weird Wednesday

Two more from Odilon Redon as promised/threatened. I love his stuff. Anyway, here, in glowing colours is 'Winged Old Man With Long White Beard' and, in glorious charcoal, 'The Cactus Man'. Much of Redon's stuff is allegorical but these, judging by the rather self-explanatory titles, are just what they say they are - weird.

Monstrous Monday

Smiling Spider, one of the best-known graphic works (as opposed to his luminous pastels and watercolours) by Odilon Redon (1840-1916). It was touch and go whether to put this under Monstrous Monday or Weird Wednesday, but Redon is so weird I think I'll put some more of his work up on Wednesday, too.
