More quotes by Odilon Redon

One must respect black. Nothing prostitutes it.
Odilon Redon
The value of art lies in its power to increase our moral force or establish its heightening influence.

Odilon Redon
The Artist submits from day to day to the fatal rhythm of the impulses of the universal world which encloses him, continual centre of sensations, always pliant, hypnotized by the marvels of nature which he loves, he scrutinizes. His eyes, like his soul, are in perpetual communion with the most fortuitous of phenomena.
Odilon Redon

Odilon Redon
I have often, as an exercise and as a sustenance, painted before an object down to the smallest accidents of its visual appearance but the day left me sad and with an unsatiated thirst. The next day I let the other source run, that of imagination, through the recollection of the forms and I was then reassured and appeased.
