Symbolist
The explore ways of art in the world have two basic forms, the image and symbol; intuitive feel and spirit expression. Since 1885, a reaction named symbolism tent to idealism developed both in the field of literature and molding art at the same time, painters and writers were no longer committed to show the outside world faithfully, but should express the visional dream through the symbolic and metaphorical and decorative images which can enlighten others.
According to an article of the critic Albert Orier in March 1891 that determine the definition of Symbolism, he thought that art works should be: (1) spiritual, for its only idea was to show the spirit; (2) Symbolist, as it is to show this spirit with shape; (3) comprehensive, for it is based on a common understanding of the ways to paint the shapes and marks; (4) subjective, as it never set object to be seen as a target, but as the spiritual signal that can be found from the subject; (5) (as result) decorative, because the pure decorative paintings that invented maybe by the Egyptians, or very likely by Greeks or the primitive were just a kind of artistic expression which was subjective, comprehensive, and the symbolist and spiritual.
The representative painters of the symbolism were Morro, Savannah and Redon. The painters of Symbolism had not created a new form of schools, what they cared about were only poetic expression and principle reveal. Symbolist paintings is a kind of explore that based on feeling and toward new content, but not to observe on the basis of rational or objective, and it was the inherent power and imagination that over outside intuition.
