	Symbolism (arts) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Distinct from the Symbolist movement in literature, Symbolism in art represents an outgrowth of the more gothic and darker sides of Romanticism; but where Romanticism was impetuous and rebellious, Symbolist art was static and hieratic.
		The Symbolist painters were an important influence on expressionism and surrealism in painting, two movements which descend directly from Symbolism proper.
		Symbolist imagery lived on longest in the horror film; as late as 1932, a horror film such as Carl Theodor Dreyer's shows the obvious influence of Symbolist imagery; parts of the film resemble tableau vivant re-creations of the early paintings of Edvard Munch.

	British Theory and Criticism: 5. Symbolism
		The artists we classify as Symbolists aimed at purifying their art of all that was nonessential (some, such as Villiers de l'Isle Adam, were dramatists; a few, such as J. Huysmans, were novelists).
		Symbolist poets such as Paul Verlaine and Arthur Rimbaud, for example, rejected both the superficial rhetoric of argument and discussion and the dense notation of description and narration, all things that had obscured the true nature of poetry, in favor of the severe purity of a symbolic lyricism.
		The Symbolists restored purity to the arts, Symons maintains, by suggesting rather than saying, by evoking through symbols rather than submitting to the "old bondage of rhetoric, the old bondage of exteriority" (5) and describing through the logic of argument or the record of details.

	symbolist literature
		Symbolist poets tried to capture sensations and states of mind that lay beyond normal consciousness by disordering their senses, indulging in decadence, occultism, and opposition to sober bourgeois values.
		The wider concerns of the Symbolists – alienation from big business and materialism, the Cartesian split between mind and body, the biological association of thought and feeling – are not only pursued by contemporary writers and poets but by scientists and philosophers.
		Good introductions to Symbolist literature are: The Symbolist Movement (1970) by W.K. Cornell, The Heritage of Symbolism (1943) by C.M. Bowra and The Symbolist Movement in the Literature of European Languages edited by A. Balakian (1982).

	French Symbolist Poetry (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The Symbolist poetic movement originated with a group of French poets in the late 19th century.
		The underlying philosophy of the symbolists was a conviction that the transient objective world is not true reality, but a reflection of the invisible Absolute.
		Because of their interest in the bizarre and the artificial and in themes of decay and ruin, many of the Symbolist poets were identified with the Decadent movement of the same period.

	Symbolist Art -- Introduction
		The Symbolist movement was first identified in literature; poets such as Baudelaire, Stéphane Mallarmé and others began writing mysterious and elegantly polished verse shortly after mid-century.
		If there is one central tenet held by Symbolist artists, it is that life is fundamentally mysterious, and the artist must respect and preserve this mystery.(2) Thus they insisted on suggestion rather than explicitness, symbols or equivalents rather than description, in both painting and poetry.
		Many Symbolist artists and writers of the late nineteenth century sought an antidote to the excesses of materialism and positivism in mysticism or occult philosophy.

	Russian Opera and the Symbolist Movement: INTRODUCTION
		With regard to the overall structure of Wagner's scores, the Symbolists dwelled on the deployment of the leitmotif as a mnemonic device and the depiction of events on multiple dramatic planes.
		The "mystic" Symbolists' musical musings only touched ground, paradoxically, when they proposed definite measures for distorting the surface clarity of compositions, for transferring the listening experience from the realm of the intellect to the realm of the senses.
		In his opera, the outwardly self-assured hero Ruprecht stumbles from confusion to confusion, the occult practitioner Agrippa of Nettesheim is exposed as a pretender, and the heroine Renata waits in vain for a superhuman entity to liberate her from the confines of a subhuman reality.

	The Rhetoric of Memory: Nabokov's Symbolist Technique
		Symbolist poetic techniques--born from the ashes of the French Revolution and the Romantic rebellion- capture in prismatic detail the nuances of thought and memory and are especially suited to the depletion of a child's imperfect perception of an environment of uncertainty, change, and upheaval.
		Symbolist ideas useful to an understanding of Nabokov's autobiography include a notion of the equivalence of sense-data and mental states, an aesthetic feeling for the spiritual essence of reality and the supernatural dimension to representations of the visible world.
		The symbolist technique equates a malignant universe with the individual's "dissolving path" and evolves into a slippery satin armchair, in which the poet dares not rest.

		The Symbolists embraced contemporary currents in music theory and expression, founded upon both their own sense of la musicalité of free verse poetry and critical insights provided by Baudelaire into synesthetic correspondances between the arts.
		Genova follows debates among Symbolists across various journals but neglects the business of their actual production and distribution (along the lines of the social diffusion of ideas, as Robert Darnton has done for the Enlightenment in terms of the eighteenth-century press).

	NCAW Spring 04 \| Katherine Kuenzli reviews Edouard Vuillard
		The Symbolist poet and theorist Albert Aurier struck the right balance between irony and enjoyment in his sensitive and insightful 1892 reading of Vuillard's work.
		Vuillard's Symbolist paintings, and especially his Symbolist decorations, propose a new aesthetic of suggestion, in which narrative and illusionism give way to rhythmic repetition of line and color.
		Rather than serving a moral or didactic purpose, the painting's expressive colors and repetitive rhythms are designed to have a quasi-hypnotic effect on the viewer, lulling his faculty of reason to sleep and awakening sympathetic internal vibrations.
