Art Movement : Symbolism
Symbolism : Symbolism began as a reaction to the literal representation of subjects preferring to create more suggestive and evocative works. The styles of the Symbolist painters varied considerably, but they shared many of the same themes particularly a fascination with the mystical and the visionary. The erotic, the perverse, death and debauchery were also regular interests for the Symbolists.Major Artists : * Gustave Moreau * Odilon Redon * Paul Gauguin * Pierre Puvis de Chavannes * Henri Fantin-Latour * Edvard Munch * Félicien Rops * Jan Toorop
