| | Symbolism (arts) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Symbolism was a late nineteenth century art movement of French and Belgian origin in poetry and other arts. | | | Distinct from the Symbolist movement in literature, Symbolism in art represents an outgrowth of the more gothic and darker sides of Romanticism; but where Romanticism was impetuous and rebellious, Symbolist art was static and hieratic. | | | Symbolism in literature is distinct from Symbolism in art although the two overlapped on a number of points. |

| | Mark Harden's Artchive: "Symbolism" |
| | Symbolism had far reaching influences as a movement in reaction to Realism and Impressionism, and the Nabis and Gauguin were closely related to the Symbolists, as well as the Swiss painter Ferdinand Hodler and the Norwegian Edvard Munch. | | | Symbolism began as a literary movement that developed from Romanticism in France in the second half of the 19th century, taking its themes of decadence, dandyism and mysticism from the novels of J.K. Huysmans. | | | Huysmans in his novels A Rebours and La bas was significant in promoting the painters Gustave Moreau and Odilon Redon and drawing the visual arts into the movement. |

| | Symbolism in Art Nouveau |
| | The symbolic Art Nouveau alluded to the epitome of weakness and vulnerability, temptation and degeneracy. | | | As icons or symbols, flowers have always been very popular and with their previous long history of symbolism were given to a whole range of erotic meanings in the ‘fin de siecle’[11]. | | | The power and use of symbols in Art Nouveau were taken to the extremes of decadence in exploitation of eroticism and may have contributed to its downfall just prior to the outbreak of hostilities in World War I. These factors were recognised as a destabilising factor right across ideological spectrum. |

| | Symbolism began with a group of French poets in the late 19th Century and soon spread to the visual arts and theatre and found its peak between about 1885 and 1910. | | | As theatre is often a blend of the visual and performing arts working in harmony, many of the sets and props in symbolist plays were also non-naturalistic and were often used to symbolise emotions or values in society. | | | French poet Jean Moreas published the Symbolist Manifesto in 1886 that greatly influenced the entire movement in the visual and performing arts. |

| | Probably the single most interesting influence of typology upon the art of the period appears in the way it provided the basis for theories of symbolic realism. | | | In encountering the many appearances of typology in the visual arts of the period, the student of Victorian culture confronts three questions. | | | The members of the Brotherhood also concerned themselves with reanimating painterly iconography and symbolic conventions, since they accepted that a pure realism, such as that practiced in France, produced an unimaginative, materialistic, ultimately demoralizing art. |

| | Religious and secular use of Celtic Art cannot be seen as expressing any national identity prior to the Norman invasion, especially when it is recognized that at this time several peoples, the Irish, the Picts, the Scots of Dal Riada and the Northumbrians all had artists that excelled in the style. | | | The various beliefs that the symbolism is now lost or perhaps dimly remembered or optimistically preserved by a few who have kept and studied the old traditions, cloaks Celtic art in an exciting veil of mystery. | | | Celtic Art by its nature is a link with the distant past. |
