| | Symbolist painters - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Symbolist painters were part of a 19th century movement in which art became infused with mysticism, and by the closely allied Symbolist movement in literature. |  | | More a philosophy than an actual style of art, the Symbolist painters influenced the contemporary Art Nouveau movement and Les Nabis. |  | | The Symbolist painters mined mythology and dream imagery for a visual language of the soul, seeking evocative paintings that brought to mind a static world of silence. |

 | | The Symbolist painters were an important influence on expressionism and surrealism in painting, two movements which descend directly from Symbolism proper. |  | | The Symbolist manifesto was published in 1886 by Jean Moréas. |  | | Many Symbolist writers and critics were early enthusiasts for the music of Richard Wagner, a fellow student of Schopenhauer. |

 | | These painters were indifferent to one trend or the other; if Jean Delville is a purely Symbolist painter, Mikolajus Ciurlionis is a modernist artist, close to abstraction. |  | | The origins of this influence are to be sought in the dynamism of Josephin Péladan (18581918), a charismatic figure, son of a family of occultists from Lyons, a writer, art critic, and esoterist. |  | | This synthesis is totally foreign to the Symbolist aesthetic, which remains attached to the individual characteristics of each artistic expression in viewing the rapport between the arts. |

 | | Symbolist painters were interested in looking beyond the “real” world to depict the fantastic, the visionary and the imaginary. |  | | Kilpin’s interest in Symbolist painting reveals an awareness of art movements beyond Canada, and the works are striking for their unique subject matter in the Canadian context of the time. |  | | The inspirations for these painters included dreams, literature, and spiritual movements that used séances and crystals to communicate with the world beyond. |

 | | Symbolism was first identified as a literary movement by the critic Jean Moréas in 1886 and as a visual arts movement by the young Symbolist poet Albert Aurier in his 1891 article on Paul Gauguin. |  | | Symbolist painting was concerned to convey spiritual truths (the "Idea") through painted forms (which thereby acted as symbols). |  | | Symbolism was geographically widespread across Europe, though it was dominant in France and centred on Paris, and it was also inter-disciplinary Symbolist culture embraced literature, poetry and music as well as the visual arts. |

 | | The painter, Jackson Pollock exemplified the style of Action painting in his famous drip paintings where the painting process became a "counterpart to life itself." Pollock's paintings developed into a record of the artist's psychic and physical journey with the medium. |  | | The flat shapes of Symbolist painting freed him to use pattern as a formal element in his work, and Vuillard was part of an artists group called the Nabis, the Hebrew word for "prophet." The Nabis believed painting should be recognized as a great decorative art. |  | | Symbolist painters stopped working from observation and painted from memory. |

 | | The writings of Charles Baudelaire on the arts powerfully influenced the aesthetic theories of Symbolist artists and critics from 1860-1900, much as Baudelaire's poetics were the root of Symbolist literature. |  | | The Symbolist work, be it painting or poem, is above all personal and revelatory, precious not commonplace, reflecting and evoking a journey of the imagination. |  | | French Symbolist artists explored this style, attitude, and atmosphere from the 1880s to the early twentieth century. |

 | | The static, spellbound quality of Böcklins landscapes are surely Symbolist, but when he paints frolicking sea nymphs in the arms of lusty tritons, he is simply a painter of light-hearted mythological subjects. |  | | Willows at Night is one of the many highlights of Kingdom of the Soul, the flawed but utterly absorbing exhibition at the Birmingham City Art Gallery that looks at Symbolist art in Germany during the period from 1870 to 1920, from the birth of the German Reich to the aftermath of the Great War. |  | | For an artist to qualify as a Symbolist, his work must function on two different levels, the image the viewer can see and an inner dimension which by definition cannot be seen. |
