 Inspirational Art Quotations by Famous Symbolist Artists

Quote

"I have placed there a little door opening on to the mysterious. I have made stories."  -- Odilon Redon Quote

What distinguishes the artist from the dilettante? Only the pain the artist feels. The dilettante looks only for pleasure in art.   -- Odilon Redon Quote
