By Rodolphe Rapetti.
A groundbreaking volume that reassesses the origins, tendencies, and impact of a key 20th-century trend in European art. Includes new, rare, and previously unpublished archival documents alongside a large number of iconic and lesser-known images, all carefully analyzed and beautifully reproduced in color. Each of the four principals of Symbolism have their own chapter: G.F. Watts, Pierre Puvis de Chavannes, Gustav Moreau, and Arnold Böcklin. Includes images by Edward Burne-Jones, Dante Gabriel Rosetti, Paul Gauguin, Georges de Feure, Felician Rops, Klimt, and others. Fascinated with eroticism, perversity, mysticism, religion and the occult, Symbolism had a huge impact on the arts and literature of its day, as well as on numerous aspects of modern art from Abstraction to Surrealism.
