	Gustave Moreau - Artist Biography
		Gustave Moreau spent the early part of his career obsessed with the ideas of Romanticism, believing that art was intended for the presentation of the beautiful as a perfect combination of ideas and form.
		Moreau deplored the salons that so strongly dictated artistic styles and tastes, yet he never strictly abandoned the themes and motifs that were the stock-in-trade of the Salon painter.
		However, in the Salon of 1876, one of Moreau's versions of "Salome," the painting "Hercules" and the "Hydra of Leme", electrified the audiences and established the style by which Moreau came to be known to the public.

		Gustave Moreau was born on April 6th, 1826 in Paris, France.
		Moreau's interpretations of ancient legends are vivid and chilling; provocative enough that an artistic movement known as "Symbolism" has arose with Moreau as its main founder and greatest influence.
		According to Moreau himself, he was dominated by "an irresistible, burning attraction towards the abstract." His paintings are some of the most fascinating and stunning ever created, and the mystery behind the symbolism adds to the intrigue.

	Art/Museums Gustave Moreau: Between Epic and Dream (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Gustave Moreau (1826-1898) was a great Symbolist painter of exotic worlds and people who was the teacher of Henri Matisse and Georges Roualt and would be greatly admired decades after his death by the Surrealists.
		Moreau was quite free in his method of employing a "depth-of-field" technique in which some areas of a painting might seem out of focus to better concentrate attention on the main figure.
		Moreau, then, is a spectacularly fine artist, capable of gem-like masterpieces, wildly inventive styles, rich and imaginative compositions and a vision looking for abstracted truth in the visual world.

		Gustave Moreau: Between Epic and Dream includes nearly 175 works — some 40 paintings and 60 watercolors in addition to drawings and preparatory studies, lent primarily from the Musée Gustave Moreau in Paris, with other works drawn from public and private collections in Europe and America.
		Organized chronologically, Gustave Moreau: Between Epic and Dream clearly reveals an extraordinarily original and imaginative artist who, free from financial constraints and concerns of the marketplace, was able to pursue his own artistic vision.
		Unlike many of his contemporaries, Moreau was less concerned with the external visual world than with profound and hidden truths; these he often sought in the realm of imagination and dreams.

		Moreau's solitary pursuit of a painting style that he termed peinture épique ("epic painting") stood in opposition to contemporary trends of academic naturalism and impressionism.
		Moreau's preciousness, craftmanship, genious, exoticism, decadence, mythological poetry, fin-de-siècle illness, all shape a world of his own, yet fanatically worshipped by his gallerists and collectors and, why not, by his contemporary academic popes.
		Moreau's watercolors are beautifully presented and so are the paintings with both large and medium reproductions.

		Here she was no longer just the dancing-girl who extorts a cry of lust and lechery from an old man by the lascivious movements of her loins; who saps the morale and breaks the will of a king with the heaving of her breasts, the twitching of her belly, the quivering of her thighs.
		Moreau had been captivated by the ‘evil women' of history and mythology—Helen of Troy, Salome, Delilah—whose voluptuous figures reclined on divans of cruel sensuality and debauched opulence.

		Gustave Moreau was born on April 6, 1826, the son of a Parisian municipal architect.
		Moreau1s work is marked by it1s elaborate evocation of dreamlike mythological worlds, and while many of his best works, including "The Apparition" (1876) and "Prometheus" (1868) were done in oil, he also executed many watercolors that were notable for their expressive use of color and flashes of bright light.
		As the century cam to a close, Moreau began to despise his contemporary culture, and became a hermit.

		It is possible that Moreau did this drawing some time in January or February of that year since he had already been working out the idea in 1857.
		Moreau's preoccupation with the theme of the inspiration of the poet, and the progression from the awkwardness and stiffness of the early drawings of this subject to the lyricism of the final one might suggest a period of doubt and groping in his creative development, followed by a growing self-awareness.
