symbolism. Artistic movement that flourished in the late C19 as a reaction to French Impressionism and Realism in painting. The poet
Jean Moréas (1856–1910) published a manifesto in 1886 in which he stated the essential aim of art was to clothe ideas in sensual forms and to resolve the dichotomy between the real and the spiritual world. In painting this often gave expression to mysticism and occultism and the idea that line and colour could express ideas by suggestion and evolution rather than by depiction or description. Symbolist painting was often full of
femme-fatale and death imagery, the erotic, the occult, the diseased, and the decadent. Among Symbolist painters may be mentioned
Arnold Böcklin (1827–1901),
Ferdinand Hodler (1853–1918),
Gustave Moreau (1826–1980), and
Franz von Stuck (1863–1928). In architecture it was associated with
Art Nouveau and
Expressionism. Perhaps its greatest architectural exponents were Rudolf
Steiner and Henry van de
Velde.
