Dreamers of decadence : symbolist painters of the 1890s
Rare Books
"There have been few movements in the history of Western art as strange as that of the Decadents of the last quarter of the nineteenth century. While public attention (like that of most later critics) was preoccupied with the Impressionists, many painters were reacting in a totally different -- and more imaginative way -- to the grim horrors of the new industrial society around them. The roots of the Decadents, as these artists came to call themselves, were to be found in the poetic visions of the English Pre-Raphaelites of the 1850's. Their first great Continental exponent was a brilliant and neglected painter of the fantastic, Gustave Moreau; their most obvious expression was Art Nouveau, a style closely interwoven with sinuous and half-unconscious eroticism. Philippe Jullian takes the reader on a conducted tour through the bizarre symbolism of this half-forgotten world, introducing him to a large number of writers and artists. Many of these artists -- Moreau; Toorop, the brilliant half-Balinese, half-Dutch painter and draftsman; the French Odilon Redon, the great master of Symbolist art; the Viennese Klimt; and the Belgian Khnopff -- have been known for some time to a few enthusiasts: In this lively study their inventiveness and skill are explored afresh, and their fantastic imaginings and weird symbolism exposed to a sometimes ironic light. Proud of their romantic appearance, extravagant habits, and outragous conduct, the artists of the "mauve nineties" drew on a wide range of writers for their ideas, including not only Edgar Allan Poe, Baudelaire, Swinburne, and Wilde, but also a number of less well-known and stranger poets. The book ends with a short anthology of Symbolist themes taken from these writers, which form a counterpart to the 149 extraordinary pictures drawn from the neglected reserves of museums and collections all over Europe and America. Dreamers of Decadence brings to life a fascinating episode in the history of ideas, which foreshadows today's interest in fantasy and preoccupation with the symbols of love and apprehension"--Back cover.
