Symbolism: Mysticism and Poetry in Visual Metaphors

From around 1880 Symbolism painted what escapes the eye: myth and intimation, encoded in emblems, a deliberate counterproposal to the Naturalism of its day.

Symbolism

When the poet Jean Moréas published his Symbolist manifesto in the Paris newspaper Le Figaro in 1886, he meant literature, but the name attached itself to a painting that was turning away from faithful depiction of nature at the same time. Not the visible did it want to render, but intimation, dream and idea, cast in images that refuse quick legibility.

This was painted in the most varied ways imaginable. Odilon Redon worked for decades almost exclusively in black, in charcoal and lithography, before finding his way late to radiant pastel. Arnold Böcklin painted five versions of the Isle of the Dead between 1880 and 1886, whose cypress island became the most reproduced dream image of the century's end; in 1893 Edvard Munch condensed anxiety into a landscape of vibrations in The Scream.

Around 1900 this pictorial language flowed into the great artists' associations. Franz von Stuck, co-founder of the Munich Secession in 1892, opened the great exhibition halls to the symbolic image, Gustav Klimt led the Vienna Secession from 1897 and clothed allegory in gold, Ferdinand Hodler ordered his figures into rhythmic rows, for which he coined the term Parallelism. From here it was no long way to abstraction; Wassily Kandinsky and Piet Mondrian took it shortly afterwards, both with a Symbolist phase of their work behind them.
