	NCAW Spring 05 \| Sura Levine reviews Fernand Khnopff (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The eldest of three children, Fernand Khnopff was born in 1858 into an upper middle class family at the chateau at Grimbergen-lez-Termonde near Brussels, the home of his maternal grandparents.
		Khnopff's mother sits in a similarly claustrophobic interior with her head cradled in one hand, seemingly unaware of her surroundings, while her other hand is clenched in her lap.
		Khnopff's involvement with the "Théâtre Royal de la Monnaie" between 1903 and 1914 is the topic of Joris Van Grieken's essay.

		Khnopff was well versed in mythology, Arthurian legend, and the Bible, and his paintings show an understanding of the messages that those legends represent.

	Teaching Art Nouveau: Images and Activities - Fernand Khnopff
		Androgyny was central to the notion of art espoused by Khnopff's friend Joséphin Péladan, a novelist, spiritualist, and descendant, he claimed, of the Magi.
		Khnopff has been called a "painter of the invisible," his images merely physical expressions of an idea.
		Khnopff was a founding member in Brussels of Les XX (The Twenty), who called themselves in 1884 "votaries of art nouveau" -- apparently the first appearance of the term.

		Vettor Pisani's installation in the Sculpture Studio of the Academia Belgica is devoted to Fernand Khnopff so much mentioned by the artist, in actual fact he has referred in many of his works to his elective affinities with artists of different generations.
		Another notable element is the figure of Khnopff's sister with the Faustian name of Marguerite - that was, by the way, the same name of Wittgenstein's sister - who has been often portrayed by her brother.
		Khnopff used to base his paintings on the photographs of the chosen subject and not on the subject itself, anticipating contemporary art and, of course, this appealed to Pisani who always draws his attention to an intricate game of allusions and mediated reinterpretations.

		Khnopff knew the importance of dreams as the soul's refuge and inspiration; the subject of the present drawing understood symbolically is the escape of an individual from the physical world into a realm of fantasy into which, at least on this occasion, the artist's pictorial imagination cannot follow.

	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.
		It was a continuation of some mystical tendencies in the Romantic tradition, which included such artists as Caspar David Friedrich, Fernand Khnopff and John Henry Fuseli and it was even more closely aligned with the self-consciously dark and private movement of Decadence.
		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.

	Fernand Khnopff: Portrait of Jeanne Kéfer (Getty Bookstore)
		The Belgian artist, illustrator, sculptor, and photographer Fernand Khnopff (1858-1921) became a popular society portraitist in the 1880s, using elements that had served him well as an avant-garde symbolist painter: visual realism and a mood of silence, isolation, and reverie.
		Jeanne Kéfer was the daughter of a composer friend of the artist, and Khnopff deftly captured the child's vulnerability to the outside world in the small gesture of her tiny thumb catching the edge of her bow.
		The book places this painting in the historical context of Khnopff's times and social milieu, such as the advent of symbolism as a literary and artistic movement and the influence of James McNeill Whistler.

		As in the provocative yet hauntingly beautiful Portrait of Jeanne Kefer, which is the focus of this book, he frequently posed his models leaning against a closed door, flattening the space and resulting in a meditative, hermetically sealed image.

		In Khnopff's Caresses, a grave young man's face is juxtaposed with the face of an enigmatic and seductive older woman.
		The man's wide open eyes gazing into the distance symbolize a look into visible reality, while the woman's closed eyes signify the inner voluptuousness of fantasy.
		Khnopff seemed obsessively attracted to this model, an inaccessible muse: his sister Marguerite.

		In some ways, therefore, this study is an attempt to see the Symbolist artists as more “normal” and to place their art within a timely arena of social relationships and concerns.
		The artists on whom this study focuses – Vincent Van Gogh, Edvard Munch, James Ensor, Jan Toorop, Xavier Mellery, and Fernand Khnopff, and to a lesser extent Giovanni Segantini and Ferdinand Hodler – were all considered for much of their lives to be absolutely aberrant.
		They were labeled, by admiring and condemning critics alike, as decadent and degenerate; they were called isolated, strange, and in some cases mad.

		Fernand Khnopff is without a doubt one of Belgium's most fascinating and enigmatic painters.
		Through his works and some of the places he lived, Jean Antoine attempts to penetrate the strange personality of an artist who painted only in formal attire.
		While this detail may be amusing, it demonstrates the artist's love of ritual, his fascination for appearance and mise en scène, which guided both his life and his art.
