Bresdin,
1822-1885, was a French artist who worked primarily in etching and
lithography. His prints are often complex, fantastical, and spritual. He
lived an eccentric and impoversihed life in Paris and in the South of
France. After unsuccessfully attempting to emigrate to Canada with his
wife and six children, he died in Sevres. As with others such as Meryon,
despite living in dire circumstances, Bresdin was well known and
greatly admired by Baudelaire, Hugo and others of the French avant
garde. Odilon Redon, himslef the maker of prints with strange subjects,
considered himself to have been Bresdin's pupil.
