‘Symbolism. The new aims had been foreshadowed by Odilon Redon, who moved from the some starting point as the Impressionists – the landscape style of the Barbizon* school – in precisely the opposite direction. Redon's visionary charcoal drawings (which he called his black pictures) led to successive series of lithographs that explored the evocative, irrational ** & fantastic orders of creation that Impressionism excluded. “Nothing in art,” Redon wrote later, “can be done by will alone. *** Everything is done by docile submission to the coming of the unconscious... for every act of creation, the unconscious sets us a different problem.”
‘Redon established one of the characteristic standpoints of modern art, and his significance to the younger Symbolists was profound.’
