More about the book

Born in France and Belgium, the cradles of literary Symbolism, Symbolist painting plunged headlong into the cultural space opened up by the poetry of Baudelaire and Mallarme and by the operas of Wagner. Symbolist painters sought not to represent appearances but to express the Idea, and the imaginary therefore plays an important part in their work.
