5. What is Symbolism?
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. Thus they insisted on suggestion rather than
explicitness, symbols or equivalents rather than description, in
both painting and poetry. Choosing music as their model, Symbolists
found the creation of a mood to be as important as the transmission
of information, and sought to engage the entire mind and
personality of the viewer by appealing to the viewers emotions and
unconscious mind as well as intellect.
