They Inspire and Do Not Define

“Designating my paintings by a title is sometimes too much, if I may say so. The title is justified only when it is vague and undetermined, even aiming towards the equivocal. My paintings ‘inspire’ and do not define. They determine nothing, They place us, like music, in the ambiguous world of the unknown.”

— Odilon Redon, Confidences d’Artiste
