Happy Birthday Odilon Redon!

Odilon Redon is one of my favorite artists! He would have been 173 today. 

"My drawings inspire, and are not to be defined. They place us, as does music, in the ambiguous realm of the undetermined."



More pictures after the jump!










"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."
