Gustav Moreau Quotations The artist is a
bridge from what is observable and familiar toward what is unfathomable
and censored. ~ Gustav Moreau Quote I am dominated by
one thing, an irresistible, burning attraction towards the abstract. The
expression of human feelings and the passions of man certainly interest
me deeply, but I am less concerned with expressing the motions of the
soul and mind than to render visible, so to speak, the inner flashes of
intuition which have something divine in their apparent insignificance
and reveal magic, even divine horizons, when they are transposed into
the marvelous effects of pure plastic art. -- Gustav Moreau Quote Without free will, art remains bound by the chains imposed by the clergy. Imagination must be permitted to take wing and fly as the stout pigeon in the park flutters in the garden of magnificence and finally lunacy. ~ Gustav Moreau Quote Require more information about Gustave Moreau in Art History?
