 Symbolism (arts) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.
The Symbolist manifesto (‘Le Symbolisme’, Le Figaro, 18 Sept 1886) was published in 1886 by Jean Moréas.
The Symbolist painters were an important influence on expressionism and surrealism in painting, two movements which descend directly from Symbolism proper.

 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.

 Symbolist Art -- Introduction
The Symbolist Manifesto in literature was published in 1886 by Jean Moréas.
If there is one central tenet held by Symbolist artists, it is that life is fundamentally mysterious, and the artist must respect and preserve this mystery.(2) Thus they insisted on suggestion rather than explicitness, symbols or equivalents rather than description, in both painting and poetry.
He was the first artist to be written about as a symbolist, in an article written by Emile Verhaeren in 1886.

 British Theory and Criticism: 5. Symbolism
The artists we classify as Symbolists aimed at purifying their art of all that was nonessential (some, such as Villiers de l'Isle Adam, were dramatists; a few, such as J. Huysmans, were novelists).
The Symbolists restored purity to the arts, Symons maintains, by suggesting rather than saying, by evoking through symbols rather than submitting to the "old bondage of rhetoric, the old bondage of exteriority" (5) and describing through the logic of argument or the record of details.
Charles Baudelaire and Stéphane Mallarmé, the central figures in the theory and practice of symbolism in France, developed Edgar Allan Poe's major premise about the poetic principle--that poetry is an evocation of eternal states through the discrete image or symbol--into a program for purifying poetry of the nonpoetic.

 Russian Opera and the Symbolist Movement: INTRODUCTION
The composer worked with what Jarocinski has in a French Symbolist context called a "system of musical metaphors" and a "musical topography" that offers analogies to the other arts.
The endeavor became all-important to poets who emerged as a cultural force during a period of political and spiritual crisis in Russia and who sought through their art to bridge the chasm that had opened between the ruling elite and the rural populace, Church and State, adherents of theological doctrine and adherents of bourgeois morality.
The composer's aspiration to semanticize music—to create aural analogues to words and images—affronted the Symbolist credo that music alone among the arts could serve to express the ineffable.

 H-France Reviews
The Symbolists embraced contemporary currents in music theory and expression, founded upon both their own sense of la musicalité of free verse poetry and critical insights provided by Baudelaire into synesthetic correspondances between the arts.
In Symbolist Journals, Pamela A. Genova provides an erudite intellectual history of Symbolist aesthetics and criticism in the realms of poetry, painting, and music in late nineteenth-century France.
Parts two and three of Symbolist Journals concern the correspondences, or interdisciplinary crossing, of Symbolism with the visual and musical arts.

 Greenwood Publishing Group I1
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.

 symbolist literature
Poetscontributing to Symbolist literature include many of the important names of the period: Baudelaire, Huysmans, Mallarmé, Rimbaud, Valéry, Dario, Rilke, Blok, Verhaeren, Maeterlinck and the 90s poets.
Many things had to be rejected to cultivate this inward consciousness: objectivity, normal grammar and syntax, logical successions of ideas and images – approaches that painters and filmakers in turn found useful.
Academics tidy the bewildering variety of literary composition into themes and movements, and no doubt college students study Symbolist literature as a precursor of Modernism.

 Somakatoligon - The International Symbolist Movement
It has been recently noted, since about 1985, that the work of The Symbolists (there have been references as early as 1914) was the major influence for the development of "abstract art", the art-form which has dominated the aethetics of the 20th Century.
But it was The Symbolists who picked up right away on the diagrammatic and fragmented formats of the hallucinatory color schemes of Tantric Art.
But at the same time art historians have claimed that the International Symbolist Movement ended in 1910.

 NCAW Spring 04 Katherine Kuenzli reviews Edouard Vuillard
Vuillard's Symbolist paintings, and especially his Symbolist decorations, propose a new aesthetic of suggestion, in which narrative and illusionism give way to rhythmic repetition of line and color.
In addition to the painting of his immediate predecessors, Vuillard turned to Symbolist drama for inspiration and guidance, particularly that of Henrik Ibsen and Maurice Maeterlinck, for which he designed numerous sets and programs on view in the exhibition.
Rather than serving a moral or didactic purpose, the painting's expressive colors and repetitive rhythms are designed to have a quasi-hypnotic effect on the viewer, lulling his faculty of reason to sleep and awakening sympathetic internal vibrations.

 Symbolist Art : Books : Thames & Hudson
Though the Symbolist heyday in Paris was short-lived, the movement had an influence upon painting which perhaps exceeded that of Impressionism both in duration and geographical range.
Edward Lucie-Smith’s important study illuminates the origins of Modernism, and traces the development of painting and sculpture in the years of the fin de siandegrave;cle.
We find important Symbolist painters at work in places as remote from one another as Oslo (Munch), Barcelona (the young Picasso) and Vienna (Klimt).

 Amazon.com: Books: Symbolist Art (World of Art)
This is a highly readable, clearly written, and extremely well illustrated introduction to the Symbolist Art movement that flourished primarily in France and England in the latter half of the 19th century.
Edward Lucie-Smith argues the Symbolism is the artistic movement that makes sense of the transition from the Romantics of the early 19th century to the Modernism that arose in the early 20th.
All too often in the retelling of the history of art, the Symbolists get left out entirely, or at least are not considered as a movement, unlike the much better known and more highly celebrated Impressionists.

In the 1880's the Symbolist were forefront in the movement which was to change the direction and 'intention' of art for many generations to come
As one of the fundamental elements of life it was believed to hold the key to a certain underlying 'universal' order, the ‘essential’ they wished to define in their art.
For him it was the aesthetic intent of the artists which gave meaning and value to our experience of colour.

 Baudelaire and Symbolist Poetry
Symbolist poets like Stéphane Mallarmé and Paul Verlaine took the view that a poem was a self-expressive gesture - self-sufficient and self-justifying.
It is no surprise then, that the ideal of Symbolist poetry was music.
One way of making poetry more expressive lay in the exploitation of language's musical properties.

 Comparative Literature: Book reviews -- Ezra Pound and the Symbolist Inheritance by Scott Hamilton
Unfortunately, the distinction between the Symbolists and their successors has often been obscured, notably by Rene Taupin in L'influence du symbolisme francais sur la poesie americaine (1929).
Although Gautier was known especially for his sculptured verse, he passed through a Romantic phase and also adopted a Symbolist manner.
Hamilton argues convincingly that although Pound felt obliged to repress these elements, he returned to them repeatedly in his poetry.

Though this journal formally preceded the Symbolist movement, its pages were an outlet for early Mallarmé as well as for pre- and proto-Symbolist poets such as Baudelaire, Dierx, Hérédia, and Leconte de Lisle.
During its brief life, it served as the crossroads for a wide variety of French literary and political currents, though the Symbolist influence was strongest.
The Symbolists were especially interested in Wagner's attempt to synthesize music and poetic drama and they contributed eagerly to the pages of the Revue.

 The Pallor of Strange Tears: Symbolist Poetry, Art
I hadn’t realised that Lovecraft was something of a devotee of Symbolist and Decadent literature.
The Symbolist and (ever more particularly) the Decadent movements tended to be somewhat aristocratic, somewhat elitist.
Pater also seems to imply that the purpose of art is to give pleasure, and in an age when pleasure was generally considered to be the same thing as Sin that had the effect of making art sinful, and therefore very exciting indeed.

Because artists are the messengers of their society, culture and spirit, it comes as no surprise that the dark side of womanhood — marked by the symbol of the Femme Fatale — inspired many artists of the Symbolist movement.

 Symbolism
Works of art or literature that depend heavily on symbols, sometimes called "symbolist," may appear to make little sense until the symbolism is interpreted.
Like modern symbolist art and literature, myth often requires interpretation.

In order to understand and to fully enjoy his poetry — or that of any other symbolist writer — it is necessary to have a certain knowledge of his views on life and art.
At the turn of the century he became acquainted with leading Russian symbolists, some of whom became his close friends.
Early in his career he began to translate into Russian the works of Maurice Maeterlinck, Henrik Ibsen, Giovanni d'Annunzio, Gerhart Hauptmann, August Strindberg, Oscar Wilde and since 1899 his poetry began to appear in Russian.

 The Symbolists
The symbolist aesthetic has been expressed in painting and prose as well as in poetry in Russia.
This being was the Muse from whom inspiration came, she was Nature, and her intellect and beauty became tangible in women on the temporal plane.
The Russian symbolist poets were a collection of artists who drew on deep feelings of mysticism when they gave form to the thoughts and visions that the Muse inspired in them.
