lo and behold, the mfa is featuring redon in their 'works on paper' room. 'lumiere' (french for 'light') is one of my favorites in the exhibition but there are a number of other beautiful works in the room (by both redon and his teacher rodolphe bresdin). well worth the time spent dripping sweat down my back in the stifling park street station waiting for that E line.
boston globe blogger mark feeney points out how the figures resemble moviegoers looking up at a glowing screen, which he found particularly interesting because motion pictures weren't rolling as of yet when the lithograph was created in the late 1800's.
